I know absolutely nothing about the laws in CO but maybe there was some legal reason they couldn't come out and say that beforehand? Maybe it could have been taken as some form of blackmail, "If you sign this we'll do this really bad thing to you". I have no stake either way in this but as an outside observer I think Amazon did the right thing. If more states try to make the internet money grab like CO did (as I know more than one state is doing, including my own) they'll see that instead of more "revenues" they'll just be hurting e-commerce in their state and making their constituents unhappy.
