More details are emerging in the suit filed by Tecmo last month against alleged hackers who were creating new skins for game characters. The site s owner has been talking about the problems on Xbox-Scene. The site, Ninjahacker.Net, was shut down On Jan. 25 after the owner received word of the suit. One of the people connected to the site has been asking and answering questions on the Xbox-Scene forums as Cypher35. There are already more than 270 posts.

I have yet to get any official statement from Tecmo, so i have no idea what kind of shit i'm sitting in... I'll make sure to keep you guys updated.

I don't know how responsable I am for the content found on my message board. I did not post any such code myself, and i was unaware that anyone else had... This could be anything from a slap on the wrist to a $100,000 fine. Only time will tell.

As always, thanks for your support. It's been a fun 2 years and hopefully it's not over yet.

He goes on to say that at least one of the people named in the suit is in fact not connected with running the site, he just hosted it for a friend. Cypher35 also says that he had no idea that posting renders of game characters was illegal, he saw it more as fan art.
