I can see 2 blatant problems with this right off the bat: 1) It is totally unenforceable (unless you monitor 100% of internet traffic in the state, and 2) It will force any internet retailers left in New York to relocate to another state. The cost of doing business in NY is already so high that it is driving companies out. Making up for the shortfall by taxing the remaining companies even more is a pretty short-sighted move.
