Yes, I think the DAO should have its own legal council with its own opinion on this matter if it considers itself an independent entity. If what we are planning for is independence if Steem Monsters goes sideways, we need to ensure those rights now and not hope they exist later.

Expert legal review is insurance. You are proposing to make a two million dollar commitment but are worried that understanding what we are purchasing will "get expensive." $50,000? That sounds like a lot to me. That would be 2.5% of the transaction price.
