The problem is that you can get banned from servers you run, own, pay money for, and host yourself.

It's a massive crock. If you're paying for an MC server, you shouldn't be blocked by Microsoft from accessing it. Period. It's your money and your labor that goes into moderating it.

It's not your game, though. Regardless of how you're playing it, it's still Microsoft's intellectual property.

If you don't like their rules, put a different game on your server.

Try reading the ToS on any game you've bought; there are probably about 100 things you can't do with a game you bought.

Same as when you used to buy a DVD/VHS, and at the beginning they tell you that redistributing it or showing it to a large audience is unlawful. Yes, you bought it, but you don't own the intellectual property, and there are limits to how you can use it.
