Direct Marketers Win Round 1 
in Tax Collection Case

The preliminary injunction is only the first stage in this legal battle between direct marketers and Colorado tax officials, but it effectively suspends the law while the litigation continues and until the court makes a final ruling regarding the law's constitutionality.

The DMA also asserted in its complaint that the new law violates other provisions of the Constitution, including the privacy rights of Colorado consumers. These additional grounds weren't involved in the preliminary injunction motion, however. They'll be part of further proceedings in this case.
