Tell HN: Amazon Associates Program now shut down in Colorado.

8 points by zefhous 17y ago

I received an email today from Amazon informing me that my associates account has been closed due to some legislation that was recently passed. Here's the email: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18955/amazon_associates_colorado.html I don't actively use Amazon's program, but being in Colorado I see this as a big problem. Instead of changing to comply with the new law, Amazon is shutting the program down. I don't blame Amazon for shutting it down, but I'm wondering what this means for the future for online sales in Colorado and across the US.

Every time a state has passed such a law Amazon has shut down their Associates program in that state with the exception of New York, which may be a special case due to all the media in it or maybe its size. California is probably up next, which might clarify how much it's the latter.
