Sure, some people get banned for a reason... But some of you have your nose shoved so far up that you can't even see that Blizzard has gone way overboard with this last round of bans, and LOT of innocent people have definitely gotten caught up in it. You'd be singing a much different tune, if you were one of them.

Banned recently, eh?
Seriously...this is called "Common Sense" look it up sometimes. It truely is enlightening.
Anyways...how a person can seriously try to argue against this, is nuts. Here, I'll give you a little "Insider Info" on how a company can go about making sure it's Corporate Arse is FREE AND CLEAR of ANY LEGAL LITIGATION:
1) They either see suspicious activity, or suspicious activity is reported to them by a user (or users).
2) They then watch these folks and/or the accounts that're current suspect.
3) They then look at every aspect of the actual user account in question (IP address, Name, Credit Card/Debit Card Info (location of bank/ect)) and begin to start connecting any visible "Dots".
4) Any & all chat logs are looked at, transactions made (Auction House, Bank, Mail, ect) What went were, when, how much. Was anything sold to a vendor? How much? Was anything DE'd? If so, what? The list goes on and on.
Remember...every time...EVERY TIME....you log onto WoW, you log in and your IP address is recorded. "User with account name "Soandso" logged in today at 04:34am (PST) from IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.X" Now...it is one thing to have that IP address fluxuate slightly here and there (some IP's randomly change 'Your' IP address, but the core IP is still the same, if anyone does any digging (of course Blizzard digs). Also, everything you possible say in game (things you actually TYPE OUT) are recorded. Everything. Naturally, nothing is ever looked at until they being to eyeball you. But if they get in there and start to see "Hey, look at this: User "Soandso" told User "Billybob1" that his login name & password was...then the next day, the guy from "Billybob1"'s IP address logged into "Soandso"'s account". Also, when multiple IP's are used, they look at WHERE and WHEN they're used. If you're say...a businessman, or on vacation, traveling all over Europe, you won't remain in the same place, all the time. So if they see a 2 day IP log in from an IP in Spain, then 3 days later a 1 day IP address from France, then a 4 day IP address from Europe, then finally back to your "normal IP" in the States, then they might say "Oh, this guy was just on vacation in Europe, we have chatlogs showing he was going there from the previous week."
But if any of the above said text doesn't "Match up", then they start really looking at you in a negative light. Then the "Maybe's" and "Possibly's" become "Pretty much so's" and "Probably's".
Do I work for Blizzard? No. Is this common sense practices for a company that wants to avoid legal action from folks who have a beef from them? Sure as heck is. They ban 10,000 accounts. What happens? Nothing, because of those 10k accounts that got banned, far less than 500 (rough guesstimate on my part) were Accidental bannings, or had suspicous activity that ends up being "Explained Away."
