Bill Hobbs warns us that the state may be set to start taxing activities most of us take for granted:

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen’s Department of Revenue is planning to tax your iTunes downloads, and all other digital media you purchase online and download including music videos, movies, news and entertainment programs, music, ringtones and electronic books. Under current law digitally delivered goods are not taxable unless delivered in a tangible form - if you buy software online and receive it digitally, there’s no sales tax, but if you also request and receive a copy of the software on a disk, there is.
