Comment on What the iPad Really Means to Developersparent

Comments

Phone call recording gets into dicey legal ground. I'm aware that 2 party covers most of the situations but it's mess they likely don't want to deal with.

Phone call recording with notification is very legal. We could very easily call the second party on the call and play a message before combining the calls that clearly points out the call is being recorded

Either way, they're not liable in the slightest for it.

All of that aside, it doesn't really matter. If you don't want to get into a call recording app, you say that at the beginning when first shown a call recording app. After you've suggested a company do 10k worth of development, then make a policy rejection on something the app has done since day one, you've screwed up.

So preventing the sell of a useful tool that might or might not be used legally while under the control of someone who is informed of the distinction and able to take that responsibility themselves.... how paternal of them.

And in what capacity is the app store legally responsibly for carrying apps that allow recording?
