Who's up for some legal recognition?

QuoteIt is one thing to talk about the "virtual corporation" and online commons as new organizational forms. It's quite another to have those forms be legally recognized. Yet in a little-noticed law enacted in June 2008, the State of Vermont has formally conferred "legal personhood" on online communities that wish to form limited-liability partnerships.

The law was tucked into a bill called "Miscellaneous Tax Documents," but the new virtual corporation law has enormous implications. It enables people to come together as virtual businesses, with dispersed partners who may live anywhere, and avoid the usual requirements that the company host in-person board meetings, maintain a physical office and file paper documents with the state.

Are we deciding to recognize the state in order for the state to recognize us?

It would mean the LLC could get sued.

As it stands now the owner of the site can be sued for whatever a LLC could also be sued for.

also: Articles of Organization: All LLCs must file evidence of their existence with the secretary of state (or some governmental office) of the state where they choose to be organized. The Articles of Organization serve this purpose and are the LLC version of a corporation's articles of incorporation. Although the specific information that must be included in the Articles of Organization varies by state, all LLCs must disclose their company name (which must conform to rules set forth by the state of organization), appoint a statutory agent and disclose their valid business purpose. The fees associated with filing the Articles of Organization also vary by state.

Surely "shits and giggles" and "horrormirth" are valid business purposes?
