Microsoft Banning Consoles For GTA V Leaks
One of the videos contained his gamertag and Microsoft have quickly dealt a blow and have banned his entire console from Xbox Live, meaning he’ll have to buy a new one.
The Rockstar policy on posting copyrighted material from its games is very clear:
Pre-Release Footage: No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained. This includes “early unboxing” videos.
Obviously we will not be linking to the videos since they could be considered to contain spoilers, but what do you think of the swift wielding of the ban hammer? Has justice been dealt or is it overkill from Rockstar and Microsoft?

Uh DUH! They ban if you play any game before public release. That's why you play offline and on a dummy account.

Dr-Ponyfile Idiotic of him to release his gamertag in the Video ouch, Personally I don't think it deserves a Console Ban the ban hammer is to heavy but I suppose it is to deter people from making videos early.
Rockstar already warned people to not post leaks of their game, I personally think he deserves the ban.

Axe-LOST- Damn, that seems a bit harsh but if you think about it. What if someone just got their game early? Like a legitimate copy?
I guess its their own fault for paying more to get it early. They could just wait the 5 days. Its not that long.
Yah, considering they've already waited years for the next upgrade in the series, 5 days isn't too much to ask for.

Good, They should be. I don't think its fair that people that illegally get the game early should be able to play it and not get banned.
