So, major Internet travel portal sells hotel rooms in 10,000+ cities. All of a suddent they have to start filing tax returns with 10,000+ different agencies, each with different rates and filing requirements. Sorry, but it just ain't gonna happen. The overhead to do that would raise prices so high that no one could afford hotel rooms.

I like the idea of boycotting the cities launching the lawsuit. Unfortunately, smaller sites that aren't (yet) named in the law suit would just rush in to take up the slack.
