    I guess call me crazy. I'm an LLC and it never occurred to me to have any type of liability insurance to cover my online activities. Now I'm going to have to think about this. Learning new stuff all the time.

    <sarcasm>When I'm rolling in the millions from my broadcasting endeavors, I'll be sure to have this type of protection in place as well.</sarcasm>

    Seriously, though, good points, Spencer. I've never thought of Internet broadcasters possibly needing insurance of this type.
    If I were a betting man, I would say that Adam Carolla probably used an attorney to set up his company and any attorney worth his salt would discuss the importance liability insurance right off the bat.

    You do have to wonder. Then again, these hot shot podcasters are making SO much money, we are told, that they should just pay their own legal fees and move along. That's what big companies do.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.
