Skype Allows Police to Monitor Chats
Just in case you didn't already know...
Skype, which was purchased by Microsoft late last year, is now going to turn over user data to police and allow them to monitor chats in real time. In fact, the police have already had this access since then. The data they will hand over includes credit card info, addresses, and of course IP#s.

Authorities had for years complained that Skype’s encryption and other features made tracking drug lords, pedophiles and terrorists more difficult. Jihadis recommended the service on online forums. Police listening to traditional wiretaps occasionally would hear wary suspects say to one another, “Hey, let’s talk on Skype.”

Well, as it says it's for drug lords, pedophiles and terrorists. I'm sure if you tell your buddy you just smoked a joint you wont have a swat team busting down your door so, 1. who cares and 2. Skyping is fucking lame anyway.
