Re: Record Both Sides of Call Coming Soon!
IT IS legal, only if YOU NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY THAT YOU ARE RECORDING
The quote from above:

These are are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. For a state-by-state guide to taping laws, including a discussion of federal law and references to caselaw, see the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press guide, www.rcfp.org/taping/ ."
is obviously referring to THIRD PARTY recording. Dropping random law quotes into a post without the entire context is silly and misleading, and besides, I'm sure that like any law, it's open to litigation and legal interpretation. Best to just inform the other party if you plan to use a recording for legal purposes.
