... and you see the same should apply to money stored offshore.
Doesn't work. It's more like if a US bank had overseas branches. The US courts should still be allowed to compel the company to reveal account info. They're not physically asking for the money to be moved, they're asking to see the balance.
I could understand if the crim used a different provider, one that wasn't a US-based company. But it's generally understood that even though you're using a worldwide accessible service, you're accessing the "local" version.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the courts being in Microsoft's favour. It's just, rationally, I find it hard to support
