Sure. But that doesn't change the fact that Amazon tried to weasel out of charging the same sales tax as every other retailer who sells books in California; that they were going to try and get legally guaranteed special treatment by promoting a state referendum (as other corporations have also done); and that they abruptly screwed over their 10,000 affiliates in the state.
