This has to be one of the most complex issues faced in awhile. I can literally argue for both sides. No sales tax was a huge loop hole. Small merchants having to collect from 50 states and their municipalities is beyond unfair.
That tells me there should have (and maybe will be) some legislation enacted to meet in the middle. In my mind, something like this is fair and equitable:
A simple chart of sales taxes to be collected from internet purchases, by state. They could all be the same rate, or differ by state (especially since some states don't collect sales tax). The rate could also be something in the range of 2/3 - 3/4 of the actual sales tax of the states, giving a small break to the consumer, since the goods and services did not require any benefit from the state (such as infrastructure or oversight) to be produced.
Hopefully for once we can use common sense to come to a conclusion that works before all 50 states enact different rules that will have to be rolled back.
