Comment on Chicago 'cloud tax' to add cost to Netflix, other streaming servicesparent

Comments

If Netflix does not have a sufficient nexus with Chicago to force them to collect, I too would like to see them tell Chicago to go suck donkey lincolns

Sadly, Netflix appears to have a shipping center in Chicago (and 3 more in other parts of Illinois), so they probably can be forced to collect.

Spotify appears to have an office in Chicago (their jobs page has an opening for Sales Development Manager, Midwest, listed as being in Chicago, and Chicago is an item on the location dropdown on that page).

Apple has two retail stores in Chicago.

Amazon has a warehouse there.

Microsoft has an office there.

Rackspace has a datacenter there...and I just realized that tzs.net is in that data center. Oops. I'm not selling anything, so it's not a problem now, but I'll probably move it to Dallas to future proof it.
