Mojang doesn't have a master server hoster for Minecraft where the server owners could contact Mojang. Besides, once you pay for the game, it's yours. They can't really take it away unless there was something in the terms of purchase that clearly stated they could. And I don't think there is.
Technically, yes they can. If anyone violates the Terms of Service (TOS) that they agreed to when purchasing Minecraft, Mojang can remove the account privileges simply by editing the account information for it. It could be done if someone cancels payment for Minecraft or in the event of a stolen credit card or Paypal account. Or it could be for other things such as below.
After speaking to one of our admins, he recalls a case where someone with 8 paid accounts had all of their privileges revoked for multiple violations of the TOS including DDoS attacks on multiple websites, including this forum and Minecraft.net. They also mass distributed the game illegally, initiated a botnet attack on the IRC, and had many forum accounts just for attempting to distribute the game.
While it wouldn't restrict them from playing the game as they already have it downloaded it, they wouldn't be able to do much. Logging in would not work, so no updating or playing SMP. Also, they would be restricted to the new demo mode unless they saved old JAR files to back patch to.

Of coarse not why wold they take away something that is youres that you paid $27.00 for. They can but they would get sued (I'm guessing I spelled that wrong) so they won't besides there are no rules like it said on the trailer on the website
Like what others have said, you could get "banned" from minecraft if you violate any of the TOS.

The rules wouldn't be on the trailer lol that was fan made xD the rules about that would be in terms of service. They could take away your account if you violated any of those terms but griefing a server will obviously not get your account deleted.

I'm going to start a new season to my old Hardcore Survival Island series on youtube since my friend and I recently got back to playing Minecraft a bit. If you want to join us and we can depend on you to be able to join us in the server I set up at the right times then feel free to message me.
I know this is an old topic, but Mojang would never do anything with your account. You can get banned with the Minecraft Bans plugin, leading to a global ban on all servers with it, but other than that it's not possible to have multiple bans all leading to the same server offense on multiple unrelated servers.

There is a plugin that bans you from ALL of your Minecraft servers PERMANETELY!?
No but there is a plugin that some servers use that PERMANETELY or TEMPORARILY ban you from playing ALL servers?
A plugin can't do that lol it would have to be on servers that use the same plugin

"Wake me, when you need me."
No, just servers that use the plugin.

Yeah... Because this guy got banned from a server and it said:
Banning [Playername] from IP's:
(Not showing IP's, but it was like THIRTY IP's man...)
"Wake me, when you need me."
Actual Minecraft (Your account, your character):No.
TOS, if you violate those, you CAN be banned legitimately.
"Wake me, when you need me."
It needs YOUr soft click :3
