All in all it's literally just another brick in the wall.

Digital content doesn't usually have taxes. So Amazon charges tax in California for a physical book I buy that is shipped to me, but they don't charge tax on an ebook I download to my Kindle.
Unless you order the box product? There still are no sales tax on sample libraries. At least in California. I'm thinking it would be the same in Georgia.

I hope so. I received an email from B&H saying online purchases. I will be ordering Slate SSD5 near the end of January (broke for now). It would be nice if tax free. I know tax collection varies by state.

I ordered a SSD drive from Crucial and they charged tax. (unless you meant Steven Slate Drums 5 which you can order from Sweetwater now with 48 months of financing)

I think it largely depends on the company. Some sample companies charge sales tax here in Texas, others do not.
This is the email I received.

Funny, that's the opposite of how it is in the UK. Books are tax free but ebooks have tax on them.

I do know some states are fighting for tax on digital content but since a lot of it comes from out of the US, I'm not sure how they can really track it.
