This is known as nexus. This law currently applies to all companies who do any kind of mail order business (Internet, phone orders, etc...). My company has nexus in 4 states even though we only have no employees who work outside of NY. In two states, we have nexus because we own inventory that is stored in third party warehouses in those states. We have nexus in Iowa because that's where our shipping cartons are made and stored before they are sent to the two third party warehouses. If you want to argue that the definition that NY is using to determine nexus is too strict, I have no problem with that argument (I would actually agree with you). However, whatever rules apply to hard goods sold by a vendor, should also apply to downloads sold by the same vendor or another vendor who has the same nexus as the hard goods vendor does.
^I certainly believe that NY is bad in terms of what constitutes a "nexus". This is the basis of the amazon.com issue that I referenced above. They are now trying to establish "virtual nexuses" via this notion of affiliates being located in the state. This has landed the state in court. I'm not sure what the upshot of all of this has been yet. From your point of view, being in a business dealing with tangible goods, I see what you're saying about fairness of the tax system. That said, if you look at it from a consumer's point of view, it's just another extension of taxation into uncharted (at least relatively so) territory by a governor who appears to think of nothing else all day but how to get every last dime from people. In my opinion, two wrongs don't make a right. If the way that they go about determining their nexuses is too strict for tangible goods (which I believe that it is--this is the "excuse" that I referred to above), it doesn't mean that they should double the wrong and now tax something else that wasn't taxed before in a similar wrong manner. If you couple this so-called "iTunes tax" with all of the other taxes that have been proposed (many of which I listed in a prior post), it's clear to me that what this governor is doing isn't "fair". He is trying to capitalize on any gimmick that he can (i.e., the sugar thing) and any loop-hole that he can (i.e., the "iTunes tax" and the "amazon tax") to drain an already-over-taxed population to the point of breaking. As you know, we certainly aren't under-taxed here on Long Island.

Hot as hell (but almost all porn stars are). But she's VERY mentally unstable.
shawna often deliver lame scenes in my opinion but I have to give her credit for her scene with steve holmes in Fresh Outta High School # 9 from digital sin probably it was just steve that made this scene so hot by fuckin her rough
Just watched her "Can She Take It?" scene from mofos.com, and I must say that it was hot!

I watched the trailer for this scene and from what i saw in the trailer it looked like a smoking hot scene. Does anyone happen to have the full version of this scene? Edited by - satchman23 on 3/1/2009 5:43:16 AM
At first I had no idea what the hell you were talking about...then I saw this. I uh...wow...as hot as she and her scenes are, that clip just shows me the girl is ACTION-PACKED with unresolved image issues. But then again, Opie and Anthony suck to begin with. She should've known that show was a trap. Also, Jim Norton is the shit.
Shawna seems to be on of the hotter girls in the business. She did a scene for John Leslie that she burned up the screen.Also a have a best of where she does alot of different scenes including IR. I hardly think she is a dime a dozen porn girl. Besides she is really awesome to look at. I have heard she can be a bit of a flake but jesus, its porn. It not exactly Shakespeare. I for one have enjoyed her work.:)
backed away? what? Shawna did three scenes with Shane Diesel just last year. She also did a scene with Sean Michaels for Penthouse video. Shawna doesn't care about skin color when it comes to sex. whites, blacks, latins, asians ... she's done em all
Shawna Lenee is right on point - its just how the government likes to tax things that it feels it can pass more easily to raise money (I mean, porn is so deviant that of course no one will oppose taxing it more, regardless that there are not more deserving things that could be taxed...)
You guys are right, I just wasn't thinking about her IR scenes. Just miss that young girl look with the original boobs and dark hair. Will try to do better. Wayne In Dallas
yes she is very very sexy she has beautiful face, and a mouth maid for blowjob.(i remember some very hot and sexy pictures of her) i cannot see her cute face without a big dick down her throat, she is too stunning. Well Miss Shawna, since your beginning (baker dozen), do you have any wish to make a gokkun, or trying some anal ? thx
Besides being beautiful, she also has one of the most charming personalities out there. I think she's extremely underrated as a porn star. She should get a helluva lot more recognition than she actually gets.
hey girl! im really grateful to you for allowing us to move forward.... sorry if i was a bit tipsy at the club after the award show... im def glad i saw you to talk to you in prson. i was wrong, and again i am sorry. xo mack "i live life with no regrets"
From twitter today ShawnaLeneeXXX Alriiiiiight! After much waiting and drama and more $$ies... I have accomplished my first anal scene :) and it was an amazing scene! Lols
all right; no anal or dp etc... but some blowbang will be good a face fucking series... Shawna if you read this thread, please a good rough blow bang with 10-15 guys will be awesome!
I used to watch porn. I still do but I used to, too. 1506 Posts 8/09

she's amazing! I love watching her girl-girl scenes. I can't wait to see her first anal though. I think I remember her saying she wouldn't do them because she didn't want to have problems in that area in the future. I think she could crank two or three out a year and not have any medical problems later. If so, hopefully at least one DP could be on the agenda! I'll cross my fingers. But, she is awesome and I hope she keeps making great scenes...
