The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear an appeal in a long-fought case involving Microsoft and emails stored in Ireland. Microsoft contends the government is inaccurately applying a 31-year-old law, the Stored Communications Act. The act hasn’t kept up with the internet, let alone cloud computing advances, the company contends. Microsoft President Brad Smith: “The current laws were written for the era of the floppy disk, not the world of the cloud” The government argued Microsoft could easily access the emails from the U.S. given the nature of cloud computing.”]
