The right of a gaming program owner to ban using leaked script of his program

Hello,

I have a little question.

Someone made a program (makes numbers look better in a game) for his community which is based on a mod network called [-----], but his program got leaked later.

We (rival community) weren't the ones who leaked it but we had the script given to us and we were using it. He has found out and got in contact with us, telling us to remove the script.

Are we obligated to do so?

Many thanks

Thank you for your message A.,

Do you have any agreement with the opposing party?

Unfortunately, we do not.

In that case, it would depend on the intellectual property rights that he owns.

We will have to ascertain his claim before we can advise you on it.

This link has photos of what they have messaged, would that help?

We believe they actually do own the script.
