Has this really been established, or is it just presumed?

I vaguely remember reading something about the skype team saying they would "cooperate" with law enforcement officials, but I'm not sure if that meant actually listening in on encrypted conversations or just sharing the IPs and time of connections to servers.

This reads as FUD they made up to sell ad views.
