Spread through the last 5 days I sent about 20 files to several persons using skype. I used 4 different internet connections, one of them was a non-NAT'ed direct connection, so I do not think a firewall is the reason for the transfers being relayed. I even used different computers (with the same skype account though). No matter what I tried still all file transfers were being relayed. I wonder if this is related to http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Skype-with-care-Microsoft-is-reading-everything-you-write-1862870.html

Can anybody confirm this behavior?
