In ongoing tax battle, Amazon fights outrageous
North Carolina customer data demand

 "Amazon.com filed a lawsuit on Monday to fend off a sweeping demand
  from North Carolina's tax collectors: detailed records including names
  and addresses of customers and information about exactly what they
  purchased.  The lawsuit says the demand violates the privacy and First
  Amendment rights of Amazon's customers. North Carolina's Department of
  Revenue had ordered the online retailer to provide full details on
  nearly 50 million purchases made by state residents between 2003 and
  2010."
