It's just when you tape 3rd party calls that you get in trouble.

Thanks, Terebitten! I couldn't help but think of the tapes of Linda Tripp and Lewinsky but I think the problem there was a state law in Maryland...I think.

Yes, it was the State Law which says the second party must be informed. After that, I looked up MY state law on the matter. Whew......I don't go to jail.

The law in Georgia (as written in the Columbus, GA phone book) says "As a general rule, telephone conversations may only be recorded if either (1) all parties to the telephone conversation have given their prior consent.... or (2) a distinctive recorder tone that is repaeated at intervals of approximately fifteen seconds is utilized...."

So, I think it varies state-to-state. I can't imagine why it's required to have the other person's consent to record my own damn phone conversations, but that's what it says.
