For what I think is the first time, I was charged my local county sales tax today by a subscription (legal software) service that is based in another state. Has anyone ever experienced this? I use a ton of legal subscription services, and I have never seen this as far as I can recall.

For a while, Bandcamp tried to charge me sales tax on my purchases, even though I'm in a state with no sales tax. By going to the library, I was able to make the purchases on the same account without being taxed. I think they were trying to geolocate me by IP address.
