The Folketing's foreman called the series "an interesting experiment" and hoped that it would pave the way for "a much-needed debate" about the Danes' data. However, discussion of "Sporet" was almost entirely swamped by the hush-hush source revelations. Another dimension to the Nets case appeared a few days before the hush-hush source revelations became public; in the US, a judge ordered Microsoft to surrender personal data from their European data centre to the American authorities. Microsoft appealed and the order was upheld late in July 2014 at a district court. Danish legal professionals specialising in IT worried that this opened the possibility for American-owned firms operating in Denmark, such as KMD and CSC, to be forced to supply American authorities with Danes' personal data. This could, for example, be data from borger.dk (Danish state self-service portal) or the CPR database. Nets had, at around the same time, been sold to an American private equity firm, leading to rumours that Nets would also be subject to American law. In the Folketing there was little agreement on which jurisdiction Nets was subject to; the Social Democrats' business spokesperson Benny Engelbrecht maintained that Danish data security law applied indepdenpent of the owner while Enhedslisten's Frank Aaen took the Microsoft case to mean that "there is no doubt that if Nets has American owners, then Nets will automatically fall under American legislation". Similar cases The case had several similarities to the earlier and infamous News of the World phone hacking scandal, the latter of which was referred to by the politician Ellen Trane Nørby when commenting on the former. Aller Media has previously experienced similar problems with the Norwegian version of Se og Hør. That scandal broke when the Norwegian Se og Hør-journalist Håvard Melnæs published (in Norway) the book En helt vanlig dag på jobben (English: Just a normal day at the office), in which he revealed that the magazine paid cash to sources at credit card companies and airlines. The existence of the sources was confirmed in a note by the editor-in-chief of the Norwegian Se og Hør Odd Johan Nelvik. In April 2014, another case came to public attention; a well-known 33-year-old DJ from Copenhagen allegedly used a trojan to hack a wide range of celebrities' computers, gaining access to files and webcams. Investigations in the media found that 182 people had been hacked and that the offences had taken place
