The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the US Government cannot force Microsoft (or any company, for that matter) to divulge customer data they are storing for them in the cloud if it is kept off shore. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corp. sees the ruling as a "major victory for the protection of people's privacy rights under their own laws rather than the reach of foreign governments," Brad Smith, its president and chief legal officer, said in a statement. He said it also "helps ensure that the legal protections of the physical world apply in the digital domain." PING!

W/out reading the full details: How do I doubt it was ruled/based upon the 4th A., but some other ‘out’ instead?
Courts, let alone any other level of govt, aren’t basing SQUAT from a Constitutional stand-point.
