This law is not only confusing but has had very little long term thought put into it regarding regulating interactive marketing, and the new long tail economy in relation to our current economy.How this tax works if it goes state to state. What entirely new infrastructure would need to be put in place .This law needs HELP in every aspect if it is going to remain a law. This is a typical knee jerk law created by old school government that does not understand web 1.0 , 2.0 or web anything.It is trying to apply traditional mentality, boarders and boundaries to the interactive world which is the exact opposite. This has so many holes and lack of definition in it i don't even know where to begin.I posted our thoughts on http://relevantlyspeaking.com so i don't go on to long of a rant here. This is why we all need to get closer as a community across the board and work together and if necessary with the state. I agree with everyone that we need to create a collective voice. We spoke on the IAB public policy call this week along with ValueClick. We are working to get this pushed up on the agenda and ask any other IAB members to please get involved and vocal. This is what membership dues is all about! We will have more info this coming week on that front.There is the beginning of movement on that front with the IAB. It seems to me that we need to create a central point for all to converge. How would everyone feel if we set up a community on Facebook or Ning so we have a place to focus all our efforts. May i suggest we call it the "affiliate Council" I will set this up if everyone feels that this is a good idea. Please let me know. We are do fragmented right now. Heather and Linda

Add point three to the list why we need an association that represents the industry. Even Jonathan should agree to that. Point 1 and 2 were mentioned as reasons already plenty of times. 3 is obvious, but we didn't had a case yet to show why it is important. Now we have one. “My point is, we as an industry are highly misunderstood, don’t have a positive image with consumers and have little to no leverage with politicians.”
