Amazon and Colorado

After years and years of membership in Amazon.com's affiliate program, I certainly didn't expect to be a pawn in their tussle with the Colorado legislature, but that's just what I've become.

Another online retailer dropped affiliates in Colorado on Tuesday, following Amazon.com's lead, but it's looking unlikely the Legislature will repeal ...

Amazon said that it did not intend to follow this new Colorado law. Instead of simply trying to reverse the law in courts, Amazon went a step further and needlessly fired all of its Colorado affiliates, apparently out of spite.
