Hi fellows,

I am planning to launch my first website, Web2.0 style. I have some  
questions for you:

1. Do I have to register a business name before being able to receive  
money from my website?

2. If I need to create a business, can you please describe a step by  
step approach? FYI, I am in Canada.

3. How do you protect your code from being copied by the hosting center?

Thank you for your guidance.
