Either would likely run into wiretapping laws.

  Laws establish consequences when discovered, but discovery is the challenge. How can you mitigate the risk of someone recording with their phone? how can you tell who recorded it unless e.g. YC watermarks multicasts? What if that recording is never published but is distributed privately to/for someone else's advantage? Hackers putting together some of the more notable firetalks/skytalks this year had some adjacent conversations about creating possibly virtual-only firetalks, and these concerns were all raised given the traditionally ephemeral nature of in-person conversations at the events.

  Most of the United States is single party consent with regards to recording calls. I am not aware about the rest of the world but I doubt the US is the only place where that is true. I suppose you could make everyone sign a nondisclosure agreement that their candid, off the record conversation couldn’t be recorded, but it does seem to defeat the purpose of the candid, off the record conversation if contract law comes in to play and and would only impose civil (money) penalties.
