Would I get shut down? - NetworkTemple - (NT) -

I'm curious about this (and I don't really know how I would find this sort of information (seems a bit more for a Google Search if you ask me, but that's just me)).

If I put up a section on my website which holds video game hacks, can I get shut down? (Being hosted on a US server).

Now, I don't want to know whether it's unlikely or not, I just want to know whether it is:
Illegal (at least according to US laws)
Can get shut down for this (Well, I figure that if it's illegal then this is already a yes but in case o.o)

EDIT: Okay, clarification, I mean hacks like Maplestory hacks. (And definitely not things like type-in cheats) Online game hacking I guess you could say.

I can't confirm a yes or no, but video game hacks as in; ps2/ps3 , etc than I DOUBT it even PC games theres no reason for you to get shut down you might want more opinions though

What exactly do you mean by video game hacks?

Cheat Codes or like opening the console and modifying it to play burned games?

if its like, umm system or modding hacks. then yes its illegal.
problably, if you do that get your own host.
if its cheat codes. then its ok. but i heard u need a liscene from the game to do it. caues its there stuff.

and uhh ifs its like game hacking in general then who cares o.O
unless they don't catch you. in your website. remeber to write.
something like. umm. no gm's or admins of game allowed. so that.
if they have lawsuit against you, then you can just say you put that in your site.
and everything is cool

wow that was fast. ZOMG 120 wPM!!!!!

Yeah, what Tam said basically direct them to a page where they must agree to all terms and conditions before downloading/ accuriing the hacks from your site.
