The non-profit thing sounds like more trouble than it's worth, plus it sounds sleazy, not the kind of thing I would recommend getting involved with. If you are truly serious about establishing a U.S. non-profit organization, then it might be in one's interest to hire an attorney to help shepherd it into existence. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through in order to extract some kind of commercial advantage.

In the USA it means registering the organization as a non-profit organization. What about if they lie about their non-profit status, what are the legal issues inherent in that? What about lurking reputation management pitfalls?
