It needs to be stressed that they did not just check the Hotmail of the leaker, but also the Hotmail the one the leaker emailed.
So for my Hotmail account to be opened and read by Microsoft's personnel without a warrant, all I need to be is the willing or unwilling recipient of an email from a person whose activities Microsoft deem to be illegal/bad?
What happens if some well known internet pirate sends me an email with an attachment? Will an justified Microsoft go on a fishing trip in my inbox to find any juicy illegal activities?
One could say that this is what I get for using Hotmail, but no way in hell can Microsoft maintain that "we are the good guys in privacy" that they have in their campaign against Google.
