Temco takes legal action against xbox hacking forum

[psx_paul]

Most other companies don't have issues with users who modify their games for their personal enjoyment e.g Bungie with Halo/Halo2

Some of these "illegal" (what a joke) customised skins can be viewed here

Skins have been created for characters from Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, Darkstalkers/Vampire, Resident Evil/BioHazard, Doom 3, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Naruto.

I do feel for cypher, and hope that with the right legal representation he can get all charges dropped.

One of the points made by Tecmo was about defamation of character, implying that the sceners at NinjaHacker somehow give a bad name to and degrade the characters.

On a seperate note, check out the back of the game box for Tecmo game "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball", the word NUDITY appears on the box, and the opening scene leaves little to the imagination. Also check out some of the official Tecmo press advertisments from this source
You can download the "Play with yourself" trailer here

I would be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this issue.
