Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Illinois

Starting a 4 profit entity via internet

How do I get started? What are the Fcc regulations and State regulations? Do I need a broadcast license? What kind of entity would I be, i.e., LLC, Corporation or Network?

I'm assuming that since you're asking about broadcast licenses, you must be contemplating an Internet radio station or some type of video and/or music site. If this is the case, it's not FCC regulations that you have to worry about--it's copyright law. Depending on your venture, you need to aquire performance licenses and other deal to sell music (if applicable).

If this is not the case, then you'll need to provide me with more specific information about your Internet venture. Please contact me at the information provided.
