    The law may be different in different countries. In France the situation
    is clear, you cannot record, and worse yet re-distribute anybody's voice
    and/or transcribed speech without explicit authorisation, even if
    anonymity is guaranteed.

    Beyond legal aspects, there are also ethics issues. Even if some
    countries allow this (which I am not sure), do we want to record people
    without their knowing (even on trivial matters) ?
