Bad example, Amazon has a distribution center in Queens. I think
their arguement was along the lines "we have products stored there, we
fufill orders from there, but technically a shell company owns it so
it's not a presence".

My mistake, I had not heard about that affiliate business - so as I
understand it, in order not to send states selling outside NYS fleeing,
NY State law only applies to companies with a sales outlet/office in New
York. So that distribution center doesn't matter.
