Tell HN: Amazon Associates Program now shut down in Colorado.

I received an email today from Amazon informing me that my associates account has been closed due to some legislation that was recently passed.

Here's the email: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18955/amazon_associates_colorado.html

I don't actively use Amazon's program, but being in Colorado I see this as a big problem.

Instead of changing to comply with the new law, Amazon is shutting the program down.

I don't blame Amazon for shutting it down, but I'm wondering what this means for the future for online sales in Colorado and across the US.
