Internet sales purchased within the state where the internet shop is located WOULD be taxed if shipped within that state - thats the way all state taxes originally worked - if you bought in IN the state, its taxed...internet or not, if the seller is in the same state. If you buy OUTSIDE the state you live in, the according to the old model, the state couldnt collect sales taxes on that item cause it wasnt sold in that state. But its now too big a market for states to ingore.
