To get around the “Amazon Tax,” Overstock.com terminated its relationship with any New York affliates; it also filed suit against the state of New York (as did Amazon.com, separately). Meanwhile, Newegg.com simply stopped collecting it.

Is there a follow up to this story? It seems like there would be some response.
