I will offer an example just for instance. If you go to any crowd funding website which is legitimate then no they do not offer "legal counsellings" but they do make it clear that there are risks and that you may need to seek legal counsel before you do certain things. Then they direct you to the resources you need.

Steemit Inc in my opinion should make the risks clear and then direct people to the resources they may need. This doesn't mean Steemit Inc has any responsibility to provide legal services because Steemit isn't a legal services company. To launch something like SMT while not even mentioning that it might be legally risky is in my opinion a mistake. Let people go into it knowing the situation, and then they can pay for the legal services necessary to launch.
