ResumoBasic to the theory of corporation law is the concept that a corporation is a separate entity, a legal being having an existence separate and distinct from that of its owners. This attribute of the separate corporate personality enables the corporation's stockholders to limit their personal liability to the extent of their investment. . . . The corporate form . . . is not lightly disregarded, since limited liability is one of the principal purposes for which the law has created the corporation. It is well settled that one is personally liable for all torts committed by him, including negligence, notwithstanding that he may have acted as agent for another or as an officer for a corporation. Furthermore, the potential for corporate liability, in addition to individual liability, does not shield the individual tortfeasor from liability. Rather, it provides the injured party a choice as to which party to hold liable for the tort. Some of us are setting up special “seed points” to host tens or even hundreds of thousands of files, but we can't do this alone. . . There is no reason why ANYONE in the company should not be able to do this, and I expect everyone to have this done by Monday…IF I DON'T HAVE AN EMAIL FROM YOU IN MY INBOX BY MONDAY, YOU'RE ON MY OFFICIAL SHIT LIST. If you have a home seeding point keep it on at all times. This is very important as we need to be seeding as many songs as possible. IF YOU ARE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY INSTALL/UPDATE GROOVESHARK ASAP. This is mandatory. If you don't have the time to install the software you are working for, then I don't know what you're doing here.Id. at *61.
