Well, after much thought, discussion with friends and colleagues, and contact with Tom(aptohosting); I feel I am getting closer to starting my first web site. With the help of Tom and his team, I hope to have something running by the end of the year.

However, my website may not exactly be "fastlane" starting off. In fact, I won't be selling anything, my closest hope for revenue in the near future(1-2 years) would be through advertising. To be honest, my primary reason for this possible venture would not be for the money. Yes, I would hope it could bring me SOME AMOUNT of passive income eventually, but I have a passion for a lifestyle that desperately needs an online community that hasn't been developed yet.

With that said, knowing I'm not jumping into selling anything or making any revenue, what legal concerns should I take into consideration while trying to start up? Should I incorporate now? I have a domain name that is brandable, should I copyright? Am I being paranoid and should I just focus on the site? What should I be thinking of? I will try to talk to my lawyer also, but I know the members on here have much more experience with the legal necessities of web pages than he does. Thanks!
