But it could apply to an order by a FISA court as well? Just this specific case wasn't.

- pvg 9y agoNo, that doesn't make any sense. If you're doing something in the US that makes you the subject of a FISA warrant and your data ends up overseas, the people who are after your data have a party. This is all, of course, far afield from 'typical case' anyway. What happened is roughly this: Pursuant a warrant, USG wanted something from Microsoft, Microsoft said it was on a server in Ireland and outside the reach of the warrant, USG and Microsoft went to court to sort it out. Meanwhile US Congress passed a law addressing situations like and mooting this case. That's it. In the grand scheme of things, this didn't really change anything.
