Many municipalities/counties have something seperate from a business license for folks who do unintrusive office-type work out of their homes. In my area it is called a "home occupation license". It is like a small business license but with much less paperwork and hassle (and no additional business taxes or zoning limitations). To qualify as a "home occupation" instead of a small business you have to meet certain qualifications that most adult webmasters should be able to meet, especially if you use a MBE/UPS store to handle your deliveries. Things like no more than 3 client/customer visits per week, no more than 3 courier deliveries per week, no manufacturing on site, etc. It's worth looking into because the orignal point is a good one - you need to comply with your local laws.
