Just a question relating to all this: what subjects someone to these
registration requirements? Are they only a condition of making
donations tax-deductible, or are they a blanket requirement? There's
dozens of organizations that accept donations (including lots of
websites), of which I'm guessing very very few have registered in even
one state. What about things like Brion's notebook fund-- is he
supposed to register that in all 50 states too? The whole thing seems a
bit ridiculous, which is probably why most people just ignore it.
