"Why ask a legal question to a bunch of non-lawyers?"
If you ask the question here, and it's about startup law, you can get great responses from people who say, "Our startup ran into the exact same issue and our $500/hr lawyer told us the following information". Gather enough responses like there and you have:
1) Maybe enough information to keep you from needing to talk to your lawyer at all or
2) A good foundation of information that results in you needing less of your (really expensive) lawyer's time.
Of course, if you're smart, you'll throw out any response that doesn't begin with some explanation as to why the commenter knows wtf they are talking about.
