Quote:
...the team noticed that there were a number of consoles on our services that were playing pirated media and as we all know it violates a few laws... specifically the Xbox Live ToS.

"How do yo know its pirated?
Maybe people just got it early from 7-11 or some other Retailer? And just stared playing early.

- ...the team does the right level of due diligence to insure that we are doing the right thing...

"Is there an appeal process? Could you reverse a ban?"

- There's no process and you can not reverse a ban,
<bans and having gamer score reset>
We are 99.99% confident when we ban someone.

~ So you should all be really cautious about buying used consoles from any retailer.

I believe you will be unable to connect to XBox Live anymore, plus your Profile will get reset (You will lose Gamerscore etc)
