#32From the link: > In the UK, it is perfectly legal for an individual to record their calls - and there is no need to inform the other party nor obtain consent. This is missing an important qualifier. In the UK it is legal to record a call without telling the other party for your own use . However, if you intend to make the call available to a third party, you must have consent. You couldn't record a call without telli…
Can informing the other party count as getting consent? For example if at the beginning of the call person 1 says "this call is being recorded and by staying on it you consent to having it published", does that count? Or could the other person say "no I do not consent" and then continue talking?

#33With Google Voice, calls are routed through Google before they get to you IIRC.
With this in mind, would it be possible to route voice calls to a server in a jurisdiction where recording without consent is legal, have that server then connect to your phone and record both sides of the conversation.
i.e.: US phone line -> Recording Server Abroad -> US phone line
Also, does broadcasting count as recording? What if all calls are broadcast live (possibly encrypted) and then there is a server that is listening to all broadcasts on that frequency and records them?
