Doesn't too much regulation help big business against small business?
You don't need mountains of regulation, but you do need to stop obvious forms of fraud and abuse. It involves using your grey cells when you are a regulator.

Small Rant - SBS 2008 - Where is the Small Business?
Not SBS specific but the Firewalls configuration can be confusion to those that don't go beyond the surface. I've seen plenty of times at work were the firewall gets disabled but really it's only the Public zone that has. Honestly though a default configuration locking every thing down is a good idea on Windows. Hopefully that's helped prevent more issues then it has caused by getting people to embrace a default deny approach.

Suggestions for starting a small event photography business?
Oh and I forgot to mention, being officially linked with the vent means the organisers send round an email a couple of weeks later telling people the photos are up and it's time to order. That kind of direct marketing is way better than giving stuff out at events, right after a race is not when I want to be grabbing business cards or remembering website addresses. Being part of the event rather than just turning up will benefit your sales and I think is what you should be aiming for.

I have a small online business - should i copyright?
Generally once you "publish" these items, they become "copyrighted". Whether you will or would be able to enforce those copyrights based solely on the prior publication remains to be seen. Either way, more often than not, copyrights and or trademarks, etc, tend to get rather costly to obtain, and can be even more costly to enforce or collect upon an infringement.

What's a good small business e-mail solution?
Yep, check with either your ISP or your hosting company. For example Comcast lets you have 5 e-mail addresses even just for the Home service.
