Now you are changing your argument.
You claimed that MS advertising stated or created an expectation that buying an Xbox gave the
right to access Xbox live. I claimed this was not so and that even if they implied it and were found guilty of false advertising this would not automatically give the
right for those who have purchased an Xbox to access Live.
Now you are arguing that the terms and conditions may be deemed unfair. That is entirely different. I agree that if a court rules the terms and conditions of Xbox live are unfair then those rules will be overturned. However, even this will not automatically grant the
right to access Xbox live to all Xbox owners free of charge and without having to abide by any terms and conditions that remain.

I wondered how long it would take you to build a straw man.
You claimed modding does not allow cheating and that by banning modders you would have no affect on cheaters. Now, whether you like to admit it or not modding can and does allow cheating. It is not the only way to cheat. It may not even be the easiest way to cheat. However, it can allow cheating. I know this for a fact. Therefore by banning modders you will affect the number of cheaters.

No I don't. By all means whinge and whine about bad old MS all you like.
Just don't put your whines forward as god given truth and undeniable fact. And don't claim your opinion is "the right way to do things" when it is clearly only your opinion.
And no I'm not a troll.
