US law firm Abington IP called for any of the some one million users affected by the recent Xbox LIVE ban to come forward to support plans for a class action lawsuit.
Microsoft says it is not worried about the possibility of the suit, as the firm believes it is within its rights.
“Microsoft is well within its legal rights to ban these users from Xbox Live,” comments a Redmond spokesperson. “Piracy is illegal and modifying an Xbox 360 is a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use.”
Abington IP has not yet committed to the law suit, as it is most likely attempting to discover whether enough people will come forward to make a case. Even if Abington IP goes ahead with the suit, they will be hard pressed to make a good case, as the Xbox LIVE bans only targeted users who broke the TOU.
