Here is my take and most of you know it is a hard line one if you know me.
I think EA is Finlay doing the right thing as far as banning and I have still to see a credible person that was wrongly banned that did not own up (bye there own admissions) they made a mistake against the roc (even if the roc wasn't as enforced as hard as it is now).
What I know is this.
I know for a fact the search engine that has all the item lists and prices in Luna on every shard is done through a script. It is against the roc and its about damn time they started banning people for promoting scripts.
The Whispering Radio issue to me is more iffy but if there using ads from other sites that make there living off of UO then they more likely then not are using cheats dupes or scripts to some degree or another to achieve the pixels they are selling to live off of in rl and bye default WWR is supporting and promoting them bye using them as advertisers and are violating the ROC bye doing so.
I think what is happening is backlash and anger bye the ones that did cheat are exploiting this situation bye paging on others that are not aware the sites there promoting are against the ROC (ignorance is not an excuse though and the banning are clearly justified) and the original cheaters are doing this clearly to try and create hysteria and try to get so many people banned that the rules are changed and they get there own accounts back. I find it odd that almost all of the people originally banned have low posts counts and are not known bye the greater amount of people on there own shards as being upstanding players. It makes them to me personally to make them lack credibility.
The banning that are now happening are being done out of pure spite bye this that clearly don't care about anything or anyone but themselves and are just now trying to ruin others game play because they got caught and are mad they got caught. I know people will argue about the game being to slow and not fair and everyone else is doing it arguments but its simple.
This is the way the rules are right now and whatever you did to get banned was against the roc and suck it up and move on and stop trying to change the rules or hurt others because you think you're justified and you're a crusader that is going to change how uo is ran or what is legal. EA is not going to lose customers flippantly. There not stupid and if they are banning an account you can be sure something was done that was against the rules.
I spend way too much time doing things honestly for others to get the same results but never seeing them do the same amount of footwork I or my guild does. I am also tired of them lieing about it. So I am thrilled that EA is taking this hard line.
