Nope. The only thing this ban did is prevent users from accessing Xbox Live. That's why the legal experts who have weighed in so far are fairly certain this case is a non-starter. Let's be clear here, courts have allowed cable and satellite companies to fire electronic "bullets" to destroy illegal cable and satellite descramblers and the police to destroy drug growing equipment, so this far more minimal ban on allowing 360 users engaged in illegal activity to access a paid subscription service which nobody has a right to access anyway without Microsoft's on-going permission is not an argument which can be won. The timing makes absolutely no difference and the fact that this law firm is focusing on that non-issue leads me to doubt that they really understand what is going on here. I suspect their "client" came to them and said Microsoft banned them from a paid subscription service and failed to mention they were engaged in felony software piracy.
