Banned 360 pirates call and threaten to kill Xbox Live policy director

As you may know, MS has started a new wave of 360 bans and this has angered many pirates. So much so that the pirates actually made threatening calls to the director of Xbox Live's policy enforcement. Resultingly, the respective individual (Stephen Toulouse) stepped into an IRC channel where the problem seemed to start from and pleaded that the threatening calls to him and his family should stop.

You can read the full transcript over at.
And it definitely looks like this is legitimate because Stephen Toulouse' Twitter contains the word 'cheesecake' as he was asked to post this on his page as proof it really is him.

My friend got banned and he only had his 360 elite on live for 25 minutes. He also had just bought his 360 new from Best Buy an hour earlier

Some mishaps will happen during broad sweeps like these. Hopefully it will be straightened out soon.

What a bunch of loooooosers, they are all upset and crying over this....what about all the people that worked hard at making the games? They have to get paid and support their family's. If you don't wanna pay for a game.....don't play it! Simple as that. I'm glad Microsoft is doing something about this finally.

That's pretty lame he was getting harassed like that. I guess it's lucky that the threats were coming from a bunch of pasty, bedwetting cowards.

what are pirates expecting, microsoft to sit back and do nothing. I personally am glad they went out banning because i don't think it's to fair that i have to buy all my games well some jerk flashes his harddrive and gets all the games he wants for free. Although according to fourzerotwos twitter feed 1 millon users got banned, that's alot.

I doubt he's really scared, but some of these people out there are really addicted to Xbox LIVE and you never really know how far they're willing to go. It's like taking crack from a crackhead, it could be deadly!

I think the punishment was perfect, banning them from Live. I mean seriously, when I read about a pirate going to prison I think thats too harsh, although I think the only guys who go to prison are the ones selling thousands of modded consoles and pirated games. But being banned from live?!?! Thats about right. I dont know how they think thats unfair. That is so wrong to call his house. I think his punishment he set up was perfect, getting banned from live, not too much, not too little just right.
