Hi In my experience, studio and network sites (such as Warners, HBO, etc.) are little more than dumb, automated fulfillment machines. Unlikely you're gonna get past the tax exempt issue.
Re amazon and paying more...may be they charge a bit more, but you always need to factor in the staff/processing/administrative headaches and costs when thinking about such things. I'm always willing to pay more for efficient, no-fuss, no-muss fulfillment. gary handman > Dear CW, > > Has anybody been able to order DVDs from the Warner Archive without paying > tax?
