Actually, I've been lobbying myself here for people to think about the possibility of retaining a - top notch - world class - law firm some day. We don't need one yet, I know of at least one firm that can do the job - some day. But right now, the PR firm is much like a lobbyist spreading the word and knowledge. When things turn dangerous, then we can start thinking about a powerful law firm.
Why would a powerful law firm take us on? Well, frankly, because we're blazing new ground, and they know this is a new field that, well at least from what I know of this firm, they would want to have a foot in.
So no rush yet. But yes, we should keep this in the back of our minds. We're a serious project. If I may say so, we're far more serious than the Bitcoin team. And certainly more independant as the Bitcoin team have been bought out. We're forever independent.
In the meantime, a couple of members here are lawyers and have been guiding Evan unofficially.
