>like Illinois charging for certain digital services

I live in IL and haven't heard of that. Generally if something is a 'sale' it's taxed though. I miss the old days when anything purchased online was some gray area they couldn't figure out if they should tax or not.

I think it's specifically Chicago:

>Chicago’s 9% amusement tax extends to all “amusements that are delivered electronically.” If you stay home and watch a movie, you pay the same tax rate as you would if seeing it in theaters.
