Microsoft says that even though it received 75,378 law enforcement requests last year, the company only disclosed information two percent of the time.

Microsoft said the 75,378 law enforcement requests -- which included requests related to Skype -- potentially affected 137,424 accounts or other identifiers, but that only 2.1 percent, or 1,558 requests, resulted in the disclosure of customer content.

On a kind of related note, I used to work for the help desk at a university here in Illinois and I would frequently get emails from the RIAA requesting info of users caught sharing copywrited content.
Never gave them anything. I am such a rebel.

RIAA != law enforcement feel free to refuse them all day long. Looks like it takes a warrant to get microsoft to open up. Which is what it should take.
 
A warrant takes 10 minutes to get. 99% of the time, I'm trying to find identity theft, personally, I don't care about RIAA/MPAA nonsense.
