I just read this article yesterday while surfing around, what a coinkidink!

I think most countries will realize that people are going to do it anyway so they might as well tax it… hey have you ever known a government that wants to miss out on tax… besides that, the cost of policing any online activity beyound international borders would be less than cost effective to say the least.
Who is the government protecting anyway?
