In ongoing tax battle, Amazon fights outrageous
North Carolina customer data demand
"Amazon.com filed a lawsuit on Monday to fend off a sweeping demand
from North Carolina's tax collectors: detailed records including names
and addresses of customers and information about exactly what they
purchased. The lawsuit says the demand violates the privacy and First
Amendment rights of Amazon's customers. North Carolina's Department of
Revenue had ordered the online retailer to provide full details on
nearly 50 million purchases made by state residents between 2003 and
2010."
