Submission + - SPAM: Are MMOs subject to US state use taxes?

Lord of Hyphens writes: "I was talking with a friend about the use taxes many states have, and the question came up if online games that charged a subscription fee were subject to a use tax, as the fees represent a service that could be shown to be consumed in the taxing state. Sales taxes could also apply (servers located in a given state == business presence). Could these games be taxed under the existing laws, and why haven't our lawmakers decided to help themselves to this revenue stream?"

I always thought that the two Star Trek adventure games by Interplay (25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites) were well-put together with a minimum of moon-logic. I think I still have the CD-ROM version of Judgment Rites (with all the voice acting) somewhere.

Okay, okay, "Museum Piece" kinda stretched it there for a bit.

Movie rental places (Blockbuster, etc) do the same thing with their rental units.
Employees get access to most of the items (games/movies) a week or so before it hits the shelves. Now, there were some rules that needed to be followed (bring it back on-time or before the release date or you're fired), but it worked out.
