Be careful of registering a domain name before doing a quick check at the USPTO office database (www.uspto.gov). Although you may think you have come up with a 'unique' name for your company/idea, it is your responsibility to make sure that name is not registered as a trademark and/or used in the same manner that you plan to use it. Failure to do so may bring a Cease and Desist letter after you have launched your product and already poured money into your idea - causing you to have to expend more money to fix any issues and possibly revamp your website.

If you ever go to a website that requests your e-mail address, take a moment to check out their privacy policy, if one is posted. This should give you a good idea of how and when your e-mail / contact information will be used and ways to remove yourself in the future.

Cut and Paste Copyright
It may be tempting to cut and paste material you find on someone else's web page and just place it on yours, but beware. Unless you fall in to one of the 'fair use' categories, you may be cutting and pasting text, pictures, or other material that is subject to another person's copyright. That right may allow them to pursue your for any unauthorized copying and/or damages.
