Microsoft won't comment on if Skype can eavesdrop on calls
Now some people claim that those network changes have made it easier for Skype and Microsoft to set up back doors in order for law enforcement authorities to listen in on Skype conversations. There has been more and more pressure from the US and other countries to put in such features in VOIP services such as Skype, as more criminals use these methods to communicate with each other.
Slate.com tried to get Microsoft PR person for Skype, Chaim Haas, to comment on if they now have the ability to listen on Skype chats. Haas reportedly would not give a direct comment, saying only that Skype "co-operates with law enforcement agencies as much as is legally and technically possible."
Last week, as part of its quarterly financial results, Microsoft said that Skype use jumped up 50 percent in the April-June quarter, with a whopping 115 billion minutes worth of calls generated via Skype. Microsoft plans to integrate Skype features in more and more of its products.

Yeah, great idea :p
No but seriously, they shouldn't eavesdrop calls like that.
it's illegal to do that in the first place >.>
I know! How did they even get away with it to begin with?
I suppose its because they can and they own skype but i agree they should never get away with that
Even if they own the damn thing it doesn't say ANYWHERE that they can just listen in on peoples conversations. That's illegal isn't it?
Yes, it's illegal and wrong..
