why would anyone doing serious crime use Skype?

I don't agree with this at all but ...

I'd venture that most criminals are not exactly tech savvy. We've all seen those stories about guys caught because they posted pictures of their deeds on Facebook or Myspace.

Even if this is currently true; it will change.

Will it? Criminals know they can be wiretapped, but that hasn't stopped them from using phones for communicating.
I don't believe criminals will be any smarter than the average citizen.
