It gets even better when states like New York can't even define what "doing business" actually means:

"Most of the law of 'doing business' is found in the decisions of courts. Those cases afford no precise measure of the extent of the activities which may be determinative of whether a foreign organization is doing business in New York for purposes of qualification. Each case must be decided on its own facts."

[where "foreign" == not organized in New York, not necessarily overseas]
