True; but conversely, if the license explicitly permits something
(Mythic banning accounts based on behavior, at its option), then it
does not matter whether or not BlackSnow is inconvenienced by this.

Of course I can. Record companies sell you CDs on the condition
that you don't copy them, rebroadcast them without paying a royalty,
etc. For that matter, even non-intellectual property (such as real
estate) can come with restrictions, covenants, etc. I am, for
example, not allowed to build a radio tower in my back yard or put a
neon sign in my front yard without approvals and permits.

Anticompetitive practices are not illegal in and of themselves. If
I buy a ticket to see a movie, they can can will kick me out if I
bring in outside food, a video camera, etc. They are perfectly
within their legal rights in doing so.

Mythic sells you a ticket to their amusement park. One of the
conditions of that sale is that you abide by the posted regulations
of that park, and that they may remove you from the park at any time
if they do not like your behavior. This is completely legal.
