Yes, and all citizens found breaking the law will be sent directly to prison and hence forth denied all civil liberties. For if you were to buy another online pass or purchase another copy then the Fifth Amendment provides the privilege against self-incrimination, forbids the government to try a person twice for the same offense (double jeopardy), and promises “due process of law.”
~Relax guy, it’s a game not a murder trial
This is also not a legal proceeding that determines the fate of a potentially innocent person's life, nor does it involve a person's basic human right granted by the thirtieth amendment of the international internet constituion to play the game online. It's a "private" community of people who have agreed to a set of rules to abide by in order to improve the enjoyment of everyone. He broke the rules, which is entirely up to the owner/company to decide what to do with him - they followed their stated intent of banning, not allowing him to play multiplayer anymore. He can still play single-player, he's just lost the privilege to play with others.
While we're making incomplete/inaccurate analogies, it's more along the lines of trying to argue that a guy who has been caught taking the bartender's tips (left on the bar, before the bartender sees/gets them) at a private club/bar and subsequently kicked out should be let back in as long as he pays the admission fee again.
