What happens after a Spotify account ban? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi piracy community,

I'm currently thinking about developing a tool which allows downloading songs from Spotify. Now, I don't think this is allowed in Spotifys ToS and I wanted to ask, if anybody has any experience with getting their Spotify account banned.

I have 3 main questions:

Can I appeal my ban?
What happens if the account is part of a family? Does the family owner get punished?
Does the payment method get locked?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Note: I know that tools for this already exist, but I want to write my own.

I have heard from friends that they got banned for using adblockers on free Spotify.

My account got deactivated after doing that (firefox+ublock). It was really sneaky because my password just stopped working. My account was reactivated by contacting the support and they never told me the reason why my account got deactivated.
