That, however, led several states to define "physically present" incredibly strictly (Massachusetts, for example, defined "physically present" to include the storage of cookies within Massachusetts residents' computers); additionally, ''Quill Corp. v. North Dakota'' did not exempt business or income taxes. Additionally, several states passed legislation expressly designed to challenge ''Quill Corp. v. North Dakota''.
