The upshot of this whole saga is to be aware of who charges sales tax and who doesn't.

So far we've been mostly dealing with hardware. I wonder where software comes into this since most developers have their place of offices in one place and don't have distribution centers like Amazon but web shops like Audio Deluxe.
That is point in saying that I would not be worried about Sweetwater, it is just not on that level of online sales. I purchase quite a bit of PT licenses, interfaces, etc for "turnkey systems." I also do a lot of audio system installs for the city and other businesses, so I order a lot of eqpt. through online music store retailers and there is so much more competition and places to choose from. Guitar Center/Musicians Friend dwarf Sweetwater in sales. Its surprising Musicians friend still gets away without charging tax......
