Law firm AbingtonIP has revealed that it’s currently “investigating” what it calls the “convenient” Xbox Live bannings over modded consoles.

The firm believes that it’s no coincidence that Microsoft banned “tens of thousands” of users after receiving its money for Gold memberships, post release of Halo 3: ODST and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Therefore, the law firm is considering a suit in order to get the membership fees refunded to subscribers along with a “refund for the prorated sums”.

Now then I know of at least one person affected by the huge “ban wave” that went through.  Having followed along with the underground community I know what kind of impact this has made.  Many people have answered back after being banned by stating that they were going to get a Playstation 3 console.  It is also seen that most people who do mod their console are paying customers for XBox Live and also pay for XBox Marketplace content like arcade content, game addons or map packs, and videos.
