Until recently, corporations built offices, ran factories, and have traditionally been paper institutions. Today, the computer has changed the experience of incorporating. The virtual corporation model is lighter, easier, quicker, and smoother. It operates all night, in the present, without a glass and steel edifice to call home, in sync with its founders' lifestyles. This unique book will introduce lawyers to this new area of law. Examining the developments of the digital LLC/virtual incorporation laws of the state of Vermont, this fully-indexed book covers the nuts and bolts of virtual incorporation. The book examines virtual ethics and corporate responsibility in the digital era; post-incorporation issues; and business formation resources for lawyers and 'virtual' clients, including sample a client intake sheet, an incorporation checklist and sample operating agreement. Those who succeed are those who can adapt. This important book will get you up to speed on the virtual corporation. This essential book is your introduction to the emerging and fascinating world of virtual law. It examines current cases and legislation impacting virtual world providers and users, and makes predictions about the future application of current law. It addresses the application of intellectual property law (copyright, trademark, and patent), criminal law, property law, contract law, securities law, tax law, and civil procedure. If you are one of the many who have heard about virtual worlds but do not really understand what a virtual world is, or even how to use appropriate terminology when discussing them, then this is the book for you.
