http://dotank.nyls.edu/june18virtualcorp.html  <-- long details from one 
of the legislation's authors

There was also a story replicated in the Bennington Banner and in the 
Berkshire Eagle, with quotes from interviews, but apparently they don't 
provide access to archived stories, only current or recent editions. I 
would have given the google cache link, but it is a numeric IP address, 
and many spam filters ditch email that references URL's with numeric 
IP's. So, you'll have to google "vermont legislation virtual 
corporation" and look about 2/3 of the way down the first page for these 
newspapers, then click on the google "Cached" link.

I didn't read down the details, but with the reference to Vermont 
becoming the Delaware of online ventures, I would wonder whether you 
would have to move to Vermont to take advantage of it.
