I don't understand what the upside for MS is of all these automated bans. I know that if I was banned for playing my legit (yes, it was legit MS, as much as you would like to think otherwise) copy of a game, I'd seriously think twice before ever buying Microsoft product again.
Ditto for this situation, I certainly would think twice before buying anything off their online store, even if it was marked 'free'. Why create all this grief for your customers right before the holidays?
The 'reward' will be they'll graciously allow you to log back into their online service that you pay for every year. Pray they don't decide to change the definition of what's legitimate.

And I have said it once and say it again, there is a serious lack of accountability here. Also, if players without fault are getting screwed and depending upon how much time it'll take to affected account, I hope MS has some form of compensatory awards.
