Saw the title and thought it was a joke or rumor or something. How can they even get away with this?

Still need some actual clarification here...

Because you broke the licensing agreement and they suspended or revoked your license? It being on your harddrive isn't any more meaningful than it being on your harddrive as a result of a copyright infringement. You can, of course, argue that the breach was minor and the reaction by the copyright holder isn't proportionate, but that's a different argument to make.
I don't believe that specific image fits here. According to some, people who legally buy a game before street date are heretics and deserve divine punishment in the name of our Corporate God. Others had it coming or they would not be banned in the first place, for such bans are without reproach.
That's funny cause my account was perma "suspended" until 12/31/9999 for reasons unknown to me. Microsoft just tells me to deal with it and they aren't telling me why. My account was silver for 2 weeks prior and the day I add a 1 month to my account, I was TKO'd sometime later that night when I signed in.
Now if I would have lost all my games...I would have smashed the $500 entertainment tv box. This is just unacceptable and knowingly people will still buy this crap system is just frightening.
I thought this was known.
Anyone know if that's the case with PSN? I don't think it is with Steam.
If Microsoft allowed to change the TOS at anytime?
What if they do and you don't agree to it, will you lose all your games, even your singleplayer ones?
They'll probably charge you $5 or something to un-ban your account.
I don't know what's more ridiculous, Microsoft deciding to do something this insane or the people in this thread that are fine with it. Unbelievable.
Bullshit, guess you do not play many multiplayer or MMOs then. Do something even if its legal and not breaking a rule to the wrong person and you will have so many petitions/complaint against you that eventually wham your banned to get those petitions/complaint stop clogging the supports mailsystem.
It's especially baffling due to the existence of alternatives.
There is a console hitting market at roughly the same time and for less money that doesn't do any of this shit.
I mean, how badly do people have to play Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 to knowingly sign up for a console like this in good faith?
And it will get worse the generation after that if you support the Xbone.
I know a guy who had over $1000 in XBLA games/DLC and he, like an asshole, flashed his 360 and got caught playing forza early. He lost everything. Games, DLC, gamerscore, username... everything.
Pretty sure this was addressed when details around the new reputation system was discussed. People can be reported for all kinds of crazy shit, yet the system looks not only at the person being reported, but also the reportee. They system apparently knows when you've been bad or good, and then Banners swing the ban hammer accordingly. i pretty sure you have to be a real bad boy to get completely banned from live.

What's happening guys? Am I living in an alternate reality where everything is one big joke? I'm actually thinking that I'm not real and that the xbox one isn't real.
Am I dreaming?
Guys?
how do you get banned in the first place?
Please tell me that XBox Support twitter account is similar to the fake Kaz account.
this has to be illegal, right?
trying to play a game before street date is one way on 360.
I don't know, but the same twitter account the OP refers to has stated there was a mistake and the policy they mentioned referred to the 360 and not the One:

No I'm not kidding. If they've done something that warrants a perma-ban, they can always sell the console and games. I've been given racist abuse just for having the temerity of beating people in a game of FIFA, I wouldn't give 2 fucks if they could no longer play with their console again. People have to learn that they can't keep cheating/being abusive and using the anonymity to keep doing these things.
