I still dislike the idea of you paying a spriter for this, as it isn't legal at all.
And mfgg and tsr can exist because they do not make profit from the sprites/games. They contain fangames, which, when done completely for free, and because no one is claiming rights to a copywrited character (ie mario) they are entirely legal. Whereas you cannot pay someone to remake a copywrited character.
But whatever. As you said, I doubt anyone'll find out. So long as you don't charge anyone for the game or anything.
