Hi,
I am planning to open a Website. And am stuck with below doubts. Could any of you please help me with these.
1. I am not planning to employ anyone else in this. i.e. I will be the only one working for this website. Do I need to setup a company for that and register it with RoC.
2. If I need to setup one, what is the procedure. Where can I find details of the procedures.
3. How do I take care of any copy right issues etc. Do I have to contact/hire a lawyer to take of these issues.
Thanks,
Sekhar

Thank you all for the answers.
But, my doubt is that, if I am making money from this website through advertisements, etc. under what should I show my income while filing income tax or any similar activity.
Could you please clarify this.

Dear Sekhar,
The nature of the activity will decide whether it is business income or income from other sources. The test is it of continuing nature with the ingredients of business or is it just what you intend doing in your free time
