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.

So they ban you for something you did off Xbox LIVE? wow I'd get in touch with a lawyer as I'm sure thats illegal
Yep they ban Gamertags, Clan tags, and Bios with the letters TTG Pretty stupid but i see why they are doing it thats why my name dosent have anything to do with xbox Vice-versa becuase you do now they proberly have MS people on this sight.
Doesn't matter, if they banning you for an 'offence' committed off of XBox LIVE, e,g like on THIS very site, It's still illegal, its like your boss firing you for saying something down the local pub.
I can however understand them banning you if you put TTG in your clantag or motto/name/location/bio fields though.

Actually bud they do. Once you go to you email they send you a message saying what rules you broken then they show u the evadince and if they REALLY dont like you. Who ever banned you will find you tell you why, trash talk you then ban any account you make.
