Microsoft fights government search warrant

Microsoft is preparing to fight a U.S. government search warrant that seeks its customer emails stored abroad.

Microsoft's chief counsel Brad Smith and other tech attorneys will explain why the company should not have to comply with a warrant for data hosted at a facility in Dublin, Ireland, in a panel moderated by ABC's Charlie Gibson in New York next Monday.

Microsoft has already argued in a June court filing that prosecutors had no right to execute the warrant because it is outside the country's jurisdiction.

Allowing the warrant to move forward, Microsoft argued, "would violate international law and treaties, and reduce the privacy protection of everyone on the planet."
