Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

Intellectual property infringement is a personal tort action. In most cases, the individuals are sued along with the entity and there is no way to dismiss yourself out because infringement requires a personal act. If it were any other way, one could create an LLC for example then make copyright infringement your business model and if sued, just let the entity take the hit, create a new one and start all over again.

Before you take any action, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your situation and best course of action in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient. Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
