Laws about call recording vary widely depending:
- Country & State where you live
- If you are part of the call taking place
- If the other party knows you are recording
- What you do with the recording
It’s very important that you understand the law of the place where you live before you do any recording. The penalties for illegal recordings tend to be very severe and may include heavy fines and jail time.
Here’s some relevant literature:
- Digital Media Law Project: Recording Phone Calls and Conversations
- Life Hacker: Is it Legal to Record Phone Calls?
- Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
- Reporter’s Recording Guide
