Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Reducing my legal liability

Here is a question I previously posted: ''I started a website, bestpspstore(dot)com , in which I sell Hacked PSPs. These PSPs are customized in software, and are able to play downloaded games. I know this is illegal, but I do not provide any games with the PSP. I do provide programs which are freeware, such as youtube on PSP and snes/gba emulators for psp (again without games).

I also include instructions on how to obtain and put games for PSP and other systems on the PSP, but with the disclaimer that I provide this information with the intent it be used for only for legal downloads, such as non copyright games or games which the owner has the legal right to download (games he has proof of purchase of the physical copy and is downloading only to back it up).

You can check the site out if you need additional details on what I do and do not provide. Am I breaking any copyright laws, or any other legal regulations?''

I received three responses telling me I defiantly am violating copyright laws. I now ask for anyone who can to look over my site, or just the text above, and tell me how I can save myself from this legal liability.

Re: Reducing my legal liability

You can do what I told you to do in my prior answer and hire a copyright lawyer at 9 a.m. tomorrow. You and your attorney will have some significant strategizing to do to get you through this problem. That's beyond what can be done on this board.
