Microsoft fights U.S. warrant for customer e-mails held in overseas server
A little off topic.<p>How does it work for companies that are separately incorporated in another country?<p>For example: I had a argument with someone from Goldman Sachs Switzerland. They are claiming that their data is out of reach from the US dept. of justice because they are a separate entity incorporated in Switzerland. I have also heard that as an argument from a datacenter provider (Equinix).<p>Don't profits from these Swiss corporation still somehow make it to the parent company?<p>What does the parent company do when served with an NSL for data located in the Swiss company?<p>BTW the funniest thing about Goldman Sachs Switzerland is that they do not accept US customers as they are considered 'toxic'.
