Re: But the reason
> Even recording a telephone conversation is illegal, if you do not have the other parties permission in advance. You also have to let the person on the other end know in advance for what reasons you are making the recording
Which is why when you call a customer service number, you're sometimes given the option of whether or not you allow the call to be recorded, even if it's just for training use. Which I find very decent of their Krautness.
