Microsoft Protests Order to Disclose Email Stored Abroad

(NY Times): http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/technology/microsoft-protests-order-for-email-stored-abroad.html

   "Microsoft is challenging the authority of federal prosecutors to force
    the giant technology company to hand over a customer's email stored in
    a data center in Ireland.  The objection is believed to be the first
    time a corporation has challenged a domestic search warrant seeking
    digital information overseas. The case has attracted the concern of
    privacy groups and major United States technology companies, which are
    already under pressure from foreign governments worried that the
    personal data of their citizens is not adequately protected in the
    data centers of American companies."
