There's a big difference between neglecting to go the extra mile to do the accounting and register with the state to pay use-tax on out of state purchases, and deliberately using some service to get around the tax requirement. I'm surprised there's even a legal workaround (as opposed to some accounting trick that makes it harder to trace the purchase back to you, but doesn't really eliminate your requirement to pay the tax).
