A federal appeals court ruled for Microsoft Thursday in a case that pitted customer privacy against the government's need for evidence in criminal cases.
A unanimous three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said Microsoft cannot be compelled by a search warrant to turn over e-mail data stored on one of the company's servers overseas.
"Warrants traditionally carry territorial limits," the ruling said. "Law enforcement officers may be directed by a court-issued warrant to seize items at locations in the United States and in United States-controlled areas, but their authority generally does not extend further."

That is one over-reaching bunch of bureaucrats slapped down. Now to see the same logic of territorial limits applied to "the right to be forgotten". Borders exist for a reason. They should be respected.
