Which US States are e-Commerce Friendly?

pHaze asks: "I am about to take a long drive across the USA with my girlfriend to try and find a state to live in. We are both professional geeks and plan to settle and start a business. We were wondering if slashdotters could offer some advice on which state is the best to start an e-commerce business in. Which has the most e-commerce friendly/unfriendly laws (taxation, copyright, spam, privacy), the highest availability of broadband (and bandwidth in general) and is the most cost effective for a business."

Sealand is very friendly to e-commerce, I hear.

Also, as a followup, it's very interesting to note that Texas does not make this kind of assumption when ordering merchandise via mail-order. They do not collect sales tax on an interstate mail order, but they do on an interstate e-commerce transaction. It's totally fucking bogus.
