>Funnily, the phrasing "may be recorded" is not interpreted by the corporations as "the customer may be recording as well"

IANAL but AFAIK the "this call is recorded ..." warning that they automatically play gives license for both sides to record, even in a 2 party consent state.

Still they'll hang up if you announce your recording explicitly, go ahead and try that on your cell provider, ISP or bank.

If they announce it then you don't have to.

The point is more the attitude of "Fine for me but not for thee", with the corporation in question almost undoubtedly recording the call, but balking when a consumer dares do the same
