Hi Mark! Great to see that you are back with a vengence! I've always enjoyed reading your posts. From my limited small business experience, LLC is limited liability corp. Basically it's a way for single person businesses to protect their personal assets from being taken in a business law suit. Also extremely off the topic: I've been in the publishing business as a designer for about 10 years and I have to disagree with the post regarding the copywrite. Perhaps I misread or didn't understand what I was reading but what's to stop the offender from copywriting the page as HIS. In the publishing industry, which might be slightly different than the web industry, a copywrite is obtained as soon as the product is printed or it's as good as lost. The © on a printed page doesn't hold up in court unless the page is registered with the copywrite commission. If one is publishing a 120 page magazine, one has to register each page as a copywrite in order to protect the etire book. Again, I don't really know where the laws stand on web stuff but I can't believe that they are much different. Thanks! Paul
