Re: recording

just to dispell something ... as far as I know, it's not illegal to begin recording at the start of a conversation, just in case that when you ask if the conversation can be recorded, you don't have to go back in time... if they say no, all you have to do is scratch the recording.

So the law I think, anywhere, only comes into play if/when the recording is used or heard by another party. If you record for your own purposes and noone else ever hears it, it wouldn't be illegal.

So if you want to record, do it off the bat, then ask if the coversation can be recorded. If they say no, scratch it, if they say yes, keep it.

At least that's how I understand it...

(man, I keep wanting to use '' to begin italics... stupid wikis )

Alright, im not a lawyar but i figure you can think of these calls as the same kind of thing as a radio dj pulling prank calls live on air. eventualy they let them know they are on air, and you either agree or disagree to be put on air. if you say yes, then its ok, if no. then its not. Im not really sure why we are worring about this in the first place.

Ya know, (yes I used ya instead of you, and gosh darn it I stand by my slang language!!!) I really don't think Bungie is trying to screw us here... in ANY aspect. From what I can gather this is just something they are doing for fun/raising public interest (cause you know, there isn't enough interest in Halo 2, like NO ONE even knows about it). I honestly think that Bungie knows that we are taking time out of our schedules to play this thing, and they are trying (whether or not they succeed, cursed axons, is debate for another place/time) to provide us with a little fun in return.

Honestly I can't see Bungie trying to sue us for recordings, as long as you don't make money off them, or throwing you out of the crew for giving away "sensitive information" (am not trying to sting Weephun or anyone specifically but alot of people have this strange mentality) or really just try and make the game less fun in any way.
*note* I mentioned Weephun and the info sharing thing because they come from the same "the man will screw me for it" mentality that I'm trying to discourage in this post, not because I hold any personal grudge against anyone who did this, because I understand that these people don't really understand that their actions are rediculous, thats why they act that way. The purpose of this post is to open these people's eyes to their own rediculous behavior.

oh and in case if bungie freaks out and actually does sue you, then I should know I'm not a lawyer and am not certified to give you legal advice, which is why this isn't legal advice. Just my opinion.

can anyone tell that I love parinthesis? (because I really do)



(really.)

If you think this game is for the fun of it Alex, then those secrets are a great idea. I sure as hell wasn't expecting that to happen, and I am certain that there will be a few more of these suprises down the road.
