However, were an individual programmer to incure liability (the only way I can think of off hand is by deliberately caused harm, such as sneaking in a disk eraser), the corporation won't protect that individual. It will, howver, protect the other developers, who could potentially face liability, or at least incur staggering defense costs. Generally, short of intentionally caused harm, I can't think of anything offhand that would lead to actual liability for unincorporated developers. However, the legal costs of being right aren't small. Given the incorporation, a suit against individual developers would probably be bounced, with sanctions & fees, quickly. Without, they might have to defend on the merits. rick, esq. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
