NY Affiliate Legal Fund
Between myself and Mel at NYAffiliateVoice.com, a joint meeting and legal fund is being set up in order to fund a team of experts to create a strategy for NY Affiliates to deal with merchants, and approach New York State, in light of the Amazon Tax.
My post from Abestweb:
There is no immediate plan of a lawsuit filed by the group, at this point. Amazon and Overstock’s cases have been requested to be merged by the State of New York, and while I suppose we could approach it from a different angle, I PERSONALLY don’t see an immediate point.
Now, that said, any outcome is possible. Things may even change by the 28th of July.
The purpose of this fund, in my eyes, is to facilitate legal research into an amicable solution for this potentially spreading crisis. In a way, to create a good legal framework for NY affiliates to approach merchants who have, or are considering, removing them. And in the end, to be able to share that knowledge with the industry, so we won’t fail next time, and we’ll be able to, as a consolidated group, address any State that might move this way, and engage our merchant partners with a dialog that makes sense, and helps them to understand the decions they will have to make.
Hope that makes sense to you, and to everyone that might help us.
Look to your right, and you will see a donate button. Any and all help is appreciated, and 100% of this money will be used DIRECTLY to find a solution to this problem.
