Is this only affecting Amazon or all mainstream programs? Are they all dropping california residents now? What about the adult programs? Don't understand entire law, but know amazon is dropping California affiliates (customers too?)

I'm thinking it won't affect adult because there is nothing to ship, but still looking for something on it specifically.

Amazon just cancelled all associate programs for CA Affiliates. Not sure on the other mainstream sponsors where CA is concerned

It's just so stupid on California's part cause now not only are they not going to get this tax because Amazon is just shutting people down, they aren't going to get the normal state taxes (or at least less) to the Franchise Tax board because people using this will be taking in less income overall.

Such a fucked up state.

I don't really care at this point as long as they stay away from adult

What makes you think that adult will be exempt
