I don't know about Amazon but I remember Microsoft sneaking into personal hotmail accounts to find who was leaking information to the press.

Microsoft issued a statement in justification saying that it didn't need a warrant since they consider that the data stored on their services is their, and no warrant is required to search oneself.

Microsoft can not get a warrant in any case: they are not a law enforcement agency.

Right. The actual statement actually said "court order".
