Article on ZD Net's website written by Simon Bisson and Mary Branscombe. The article points out the fact that once data is in the Cloud, those who created and rely on the data are no longer truly sure where it is, and if it is being accsessed by governmental officials in the U.S. via the permissions granted by the Patriot Act.
Remember that the U.S. government can request the data of any individual or company that's using U.S.-owned or hosted services, no matter where that data is actually being held. It doesn't matter if you've geo-locked your data, and it only resides in European data centres, it can still be requisitioned and taken to the U.S.
So much for the EU Safe Harbor?
