It is, and there's a family of youtube streamers out there who make a living 
doing it (Pierogi at Scammer Payback for example).

One of those interesting instances where laws differ between countries.

List messages often arrive out of order for me, and I think that happened here. 
 I may have been misquoting.  But yeah, I’ve never heard of a law against 
sharing lawful recordings.

I think it should be legal for me to publicize recordings of me harassing 
scammers, right?

I think Henning was inquiring not so much about the legality of recording per 
se (which you have accurately addressed) as publicising the recording. As far 
as I know, US state and federal laws do not have a specific statute against 
this as long as the recording was legally made in the first place.

I’m surprised that you’re not aware of the laws on this (or lack of).  There 
are only a small number of states with all party consent laws, most are single 
party.  You just can’t record a third-party conversation where you are not 
involved, and they don’t know you’re recording.

It leads to a complexity that I’m trying to help a customer with now.  What if 
someone in AZ (single party) calls a person in CA (all party)?  Further, what 
if the server is in AZ, but the caller is in an all party state, and they call 
a single party state?  Etc.
