No official word,  and I wouldn't expect any, either, since there would have to be some sort of internationally recognized legal action.  I paid for 'em, they weren't ripped out of the game itself, so I'm sitll using them. 

Interestingly, Eidos (soon to be Square Enix EU), allows and encourages the actual game models to be ripped and fan art using the ripped models is all over the official TR forum and the much larger un-official TR forum.  In response to magicmooddesigns above, if it's TR porn you're worried about, it now proliferates in vast profusion using the actual models and textures from the latest Tomb Raider game, all with the unstated but evident blessing of Eidos itself.
