then you need to read 18 USC 2510, et seq, The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986.
and
N.D. Cent. Code § 12.1-15-02
Anyone who is a party to a communication, or who has obtained prior consent from someone who is a party to the communication, may legally record or disclose the contents of any wire or oral communication as long as they do not have criminal or tortious intent. Recording or disclosing the contents of a communication without one party's consent or with criminal or tortious intent is a felony carrying a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and imprisonment for five years. N.D. Cent. Code § 12.1-32-01.

The question asked is immaterial to the law. Did you bother to read the citation and the statute I posted?

I read it but it doesn't make much sense to me---I'm no lawyer.
