Banned Xbox 360 modders plan class action lawsuit

Microsoft just banned Xbox 360 modders. It was reportedly around 1 million users, but was denied by Microsoft.
And now they filing a class action lawsuit. Apparently the argument is that Microsoft deliberately timed the ban around Halo ODST and Modern Warfare 2 launch date, because that's the period when users (including modders) most likely to subscribe to Xbox live. And by banning, the fee is not refundable.
And what did Microsoft said?
By modding the Xbox 360 console, they breach the terms of use, and Microsoft is within its legal rights to ban those modders.
Sometimes it just amazing how lawyers are trying to make money. They can even convince people to throw a lawsuit even they are in wrong position.
So modders lesson 101.. Stay away from Xbox Live.
