Is that really that obscure knowledge? Like every time you call virtually any larger company with an automated attendant, the recording says "This call may be monitored or recorded for training or quality of service reasons".

They are not saying it for their health.
As far as obscure knowledge goes, I live in Canada, and I just assumed the majority of the people on here are also Canadian, and it isn't illegal here to record a phone conversation you are having. If you're talking with someone, and you yourself know the conversation is being recorded, it is perfectly legal to do so without the other person knowing. It's illegal for a 3rd-party to eavesdrop, though, and obviously companies differ in some respects because of the information they collect from you.

My post was about it being called "wiretapping" in the US, though.
