Should I register a side project as a company or wait for it to take off first?

I would say that depends on whether or not you expect any income to start and also if you are assuming any liability with your side project. Registering as a company will help shield you from this (at least in the U.S.).
How much liability can there be? Following all copyright/trademark laws and such..
