Maybe we will see subpoenas or public hearings for Microsoft and their

For what? Skype has kept chat logs for years, and the government
routinely subpoenas them.
Is that a fact? As far as I know, Skype is e2e secure. So Skype can't
get at the chat logs without doing some form of attack. Is there any
documentation on this? Court records?
I was a technical expert in a pump and dump
spam trial last fall, and a large part of the evidence was Skype chat
logs among the members of the spamming group.
Who provided the chat logs? Were they provided by Skype or where they
provided by one or the other members? The reason I ask is that if there
is any sensitivity in sources, the prosecutors will routinely obscure
the sources.
Also keep in mind that Microsoft bought Skype from eBay, so there is
nothing new about it being owned by a U.S. company.
Sure. This is the one thing that makes me thing that Skype can do a
whole lot more than they say. I am skeptical of the situation, but we
need facts.
