Given that New York is claiming that it has the right to tax 100% of
the income derived while working for the New York company, are they
also saying that they cannot claim any tax on people who are in New
York but work for companies elsewhere?  (Yes, I know it's a rhetorical
question.  We all know that they want to tax both sides.)

As someone else mentioned, if New York is claiming it can tax it, and
you know the worker's home state is claiming it as well, people are
going to be double-taxed.  Sounds like one of those times when a
federal court really does need to get involved.  Either it's the
place where the worker is physically located, or it's where the work
is being "done".  (And they need to define how one determines where
the work is being "done" in this age of networked systems.)
