Microsoft bans Xbox Live users who illegally downloaded content
The message board post from Microsoft states that during " ... a recent investigation, we have discovered users who illegitimately accessed Xbox LIVE Marketplace downloadable content. Our investigation reveals that this access was intentional and not accidental, constituting a blatant violation of the Terms of Use for the service." Microsoft did not go into details about how many people were involved nor the types of content they had taken from the Xbox Live Marketplace. It added, "Please know that we are being very careful regarding these suspensions, and have clear evidence regarding each account issued a permanent suspension from the service. We apologize for any frustration or confusion resulting from our inability to share individual details, and thank you all for your cooperation in this matter."
Eurogamer.net reports that some Xbox Live uses have posted up messages on the Xbox.com forums that claim they are innocent of the allegations made against them by Microsoft. They also confirm that they have been banned from using Xbox Live until December 31, 9999 (no, that's not a typo). Microsoft did not go into any details on how these Xbox Live users illegally downloaded the content.

loldongs89kgb_immortal lmao wow so many innocent people are going to get banned, after all people do go over to friends houses and they end up playing arcade games on a recovered account so microsoft is going to think they stole stuff
no they can tell the difference between that and the method known as "non-jtag"
so the people that get banned for marketplace theft deserve it
how can they tell i have a friend 1 mile away that comes over to play the arcade games on my xbox first and i got bannd wtf
