What do you think about Microsoft banning Xbox modded consoles?

Recently Microsoft has banned more than one million consoles so the users can't use the
Live anymore.I understand the problem of piracy but is it legal the they can cut a service of the console that you paid money for?
I don't really want to create the"piracy" or "non piracy" issue but what do you think?

Yea i heard about that. They cant use live or they will be found lol. Well i dont know what to say but i think they deserve it. Mine isnt moded and i wouldnt want to. The xbox is all about live mostly and i buy all my games. i guess its legal to cut something from the mainstream if it is no longer the mainstream of xbox's. They get free xbox games but no live so i dont know if it will hurt the hackers that much.

they dont desevre it because they bought the game that is waht some people do
they should work on something
like a game copy can only made once
like a code in the game

Well that's the way it should be Yagomate... In order to play fair, Live users must be able to purchase legal copies... but at least, you could always play single player...

What do you mean by modded? do you mean illegal modifications done to a console or xbox live in some way to make the user of this illegally modified console unable to use xbox live?
Do you have a link to verify said banning? If so pray do tell.

i think they shoild try a better method maybe like you must have played the original game for like a month so they can verify that you own and then allow a
copy.
the whole being able to copy games is legal but the counsle will not allow is very crappy
also they are billionanres and stuff so a few copied games may seem like a lot but
if you think for a whle of all the things microsoft sells that should not really do harm to their business.
for example there are about 7 million people who play online
there are more people who dont play live which is like 3 times more
then you add the peopl who paly live and 1 months 3 moths and 1 year that are purchased at thousands a times a month then there are ms points which about a 4th of the people online purchase things on dashbaord
