Corporations are privacy freaks. I've worked or consulted for a number of corporations that were/are extremely concerned about data exfiltration. I'd not advise such corporations to use Skype without an agreement with Skype as to what can/does happen to the their data, or else to be very careful about what is exchanged over Skype. And it does happen that sometimes a corporation's employees need to communicate with people over Skype or similar *external* systems. Beyond corporations, individuals absolutely have a right to private communications with their lawyers, etc... And there need not be any criminal or civil liability for an individual to hide. For example, if I were trying to patent something, I'd want my communications with my lawyer kept secret.
