Microsoft Defies Court Order, Will Not Give Emails to US Government
This is the first time a technology company has resisted a US search warrant seeking data that is held outside the United States. ..
"In the view of Microsoft and many legal experts, federal authorities have no jurisdiction over data stored outside the country. It says that the court order violates Ireland's sovereignty and that prosecutors need to seek a legal treaty with Ireland in order to obtain the data they want."
"Let there be no doubt that Microsoft's actions in this controversial case are customer-centric. The firm isn't just standing up to the US government on moral principles. It's now defying a federal court order."
