How to Get Unbanned From Xbox LIVE

If an Xbox LIVE account holder violates the Terms of Use, Microsoft can choose to ban the user from his account. This is often because the account holder is using a modified Xbox that allows him to pirate files or back them up in an illegal way. Microsoft says, "There is no recourse for Terms of Use violations," meaning it won't remove a suspension or ban on request. However, there is a way to get back on Xbox LIVE.
