and ???? what's surprising every company does that.... phone companies charge between 5 thousands and 15 thousands bucks for wiretaping to the police.... there is nothing new or surprising here... it's funny how snowden poped a buble that was nothing new what so ever to anybody with half brain and was informed a little bit....

that doesnt justify it or make it any less wrong though. 

you arent looking at this right...

Not sure what the problem is.

The FBI demand the info... MS has just decided to charge to do it I presume?

They HAVE to hand the info over, they CANT refuse... why not charge them for it?

If anything it might reduce the amount the FBI ask for.

BWAHAHAHA!!  No it won't.  That's not the FBI/government's money, so they don't give a shit how much of it they spend.  If anything, this just seems a way for MS to get some easy money, taxpayer money, while doing what they were going to do, anyway.  And quite a bit of it, really.  $280K-$350K a month comes to $3.4M-4.2M a year.  I really just want to know what division this goes into.
