California is two-party consent, so I hope that phone call starts with the consent of Apple's employee to be recorded.

If it's not, it'd be quite a blow to the dev's credibility. (and a felony).




He's based in Romania, where (as best I can tell) one-party consent is legal [1].

California doesn't care: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws#One-p...) "he California Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that if a caller in a one-party state records a conversation with someone in California, that one-party state caller is subject to the stricter of the laws and must have consent from all callers (cf. Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney Inc., 39 Cal. 4th 95[38]). "

But it does make it less relevant at least practically.

On another note, I tried to find out where he lives, but it's nowhere to be found on the website. I really prefer business websites that give me at least a full name and a city. I don't even know why – I'm not planning to write/stop by/sue – it just feels shady.

(whois data is similarly anonymous – I'm starting to see Apple's point of view)


> California doesn't care

Romania doesn't care either, considering how it is not subject to US law.
