What are the basic legal requirements I have as a website owner?
<p>Let's say I run a basic website with no special legal concerns. What legal issues does every website have that I should know about?</p>

<p>Every website needs a terms of service and a privacy policy. A simple Google search will find you plenty of TOS/PP generators. Then, you just a need to place an easy-to-find link to your TOS/PP on all the pages of your website.</p>

<p>No matter what kind of site you run, it is also a very good idea to register as an official <a href="http://copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf">copyright infringement agent</a>. It costs about $140, but it could save you a LOT of hassle in the future.</p>

<p>Other than that, it's hard to say much more since you haven't revealed much about your website. You should be more specific if you want more information.</p>
