Is there any law that states it is illegal to live in the US permanently if I don't plan on getting a job there?

Secondly, if I decide to make money online, would it matter that I am in US since it is online?

Depending on where you are coming from you will most likely be given a 90 day visa to travel in the USA. If you overstay the visa you are breaking American federal law and can be deported and banned from re-entering the country.

I'd be coming from Canada. So could I just visit 90 days, go back to Canada for a couple days, and then come back for another 90 days?

Oh from Canada? As in you are a Canadian citizen, or do you mean something else? I believe there's some special visa for Canadian citizens who want to work in the USA. You should look into it if you are from Canada.
