Lets say I was able to buy this game at a shop (like in poland and Resident Evil 6) Who the hell gives them the right to bann me? I mean did I somewhere sign a contract that sates "from the day I bought my 360 I will check every release date of every game out there?"

I mean there are screens of actual DVDs in the wild. SO lets say I have no idea when halo comes out and the guy that had those disks visits me and we were playing Halo4. NO i get banned?

They have no prove I downloaded the game or that I knew what was going on.

BTW: Can MS still or actually  block consoles from working? I remeber I read something about it long ago  is this actually true? Can they make my console be a brick?

343 already said they won't ban you if you have a legit copy. This is just for pirates that downloaded the game.

They can permanently ban your console so you can never go online with it again. This will also block all saved games on the hdd but as far as I know they can not brick a console.
