While it's always been the law, it has also always been 'understood' that collection of sales/use taxes was the responsibility of the seller and if seller didn't collect, the state would not come after the buyer. Very sleazy move to retroactively begin enforcing a law that has always been ignored.
You are wrong here
I'm not wrong. I didn't say they had never done it, I said it was 'understood' they would not go after the buyer. They may have done it VERY infrequently, but virtually no one knew it was being done or that they would be pursued.

It may have been "understood" that the state wasn't going to come after the buyer strictly from a cost/benefit analysis. Prior to the internet, the state didn't feel like it was losing out on much revenue. It wasn't worth the expense to try to cast a large net for a few small fish. Now there are a lot more fish, and the state has a nice shiny "fish finder" to help them.
