You are asking for a flagrant, solicited violation of US patent law.  This will
not be a case of harmlessly or unknowingly posting material to the net.  There
is no legal question here except that of exactly which crimes the prosecutor
will choose to charge you with.  So far, the only one that I am aware of is
solicitation of an illegal act.  Anyone who assists you will be an accomplice
at best.
