Microsoft fights government search warrant

Microsoft is preparing to fight a U.S. government search warrant that seeks its customer emails stored abroad. 


Microsoft's chief counsel Brad Smith and other tech attorneys will explain why the company should not have to comply with a warrant for data hosted at a facility in Dublin, Ireland, in a panel moderated by ABC's Charlie Gibson in New York next Monday. 

Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) has already argued in a June court filing that prosecutors had no right to execute the warrant because it is outside the country's jurisdiction.
