Microsoft fights US government over seizing data

Microsoft is taking on the US in a court case that could redefine the
government's ability to seize cloud-based company data.

The tech giant is refusing to hand over emails in a drugs case,
despite a previous ruling last year ordering the company to release
the documents.

The case, which in being heard in Manhattan, is likely to have
significant implications for other internet companies.

Our correspondent Nick Harper in New York says it's a case over who
has the right to the data.
