How To Avoid Collecting Internet Taxes Under The Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013

Internet Lawyer — Thu, 09 May 2013 11:29:53 +0000

Although tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is okay. If the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 becomes law (it was passed in the U.S. Senate this week), there’s no reason your online business should become an involuntary tax collector for the welfare state even if the so-called “Amazon tax” is constitutional (debatable). Fortunately, there’s a big loophole in the Senate version (S.743) of this Internet tax legislation that small businesses can use. It’s likely that [...]

Free Special Report: How to Pick the Right Internet Lawyer For Your Business

Internet Lawyer — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:56:29 +0000

Just because someone claims to be an Internet lawyer doesn’t mean that attorney is the right one for your business. For example, some Internet attorneys focus solely on intellectual property lawsuits (patent, trademark, and copyright infringement cases). However, if you don’t have an IP infringement legal issue, chances are you’re going to need another type of Internet business lawyer to represent you. Maybe you really need legal counsel to prepare an ecommerce contract or some [...]

Why FTC Gridlock Is Good For Your Website

Internet Lawyer — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:08:16 +0000

It looks like the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is going to be gridlocked with a 2-2 tie between Democrat and Republican appointees for a while. Why? Republicans in Congress have no plans to let President Obama appoint a tie-breaking fifth commissioner. This is not surprising when the administration has aggressively used regulatory agencies to affect commerce in ways never contemplated by the underlying legislation being enforced. Why is this good for your business online? [...]

How to Buy an Internet Business

Internet Lawyer — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:03:55 +0000

When buying an online business, as a general rule, you will want to purchase the company’s assets rather than the owners’ equity (corporate stock, LLC membership equity interests, etc.). Assets you may want to buy include the domain name, website content, customer lists, and software. Why purchase an Internet business’ assets? Although an equity purchase might be easier from a paperwork standpoint, you also assume many potential legal risks by stepping into the shoes of [...]

Starbucks Pirates: Will You Lose Free Wi-Fi?

Internet Lawyer — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:48:15 +0000

The days of free public Wi-Fi at Starbucks, hotels, airports, and restaurants may be numbered. Why? The new Copyright Alert System (“CAS”), a monster created by the entertainment industry in cooperation with large Internet Service Providers (ISPs), will serve as judge, jury, and executioner when it comes to suspected online piracy. This is Hollywood’s snarky response to Congress’ inability to pass new anti-piracy legislation because of public pressure. Under CAS, suspected pirates will get 5 [...]

Internet Lawyer — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:54:08 +0000

If you’re the owner of a small business online, it’s noteworthy that a Who’s Who of big tech companies just came out in support of gay rights. This includes Amazon, Apple, eBay, Google, Microsoft…and many others. Literally hundreds of pro-gay rights companies signed onto an amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) legal brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of gay rights. Some of these companies are headed by gays and lesbians. Many are not [...]
