Over the last few days we have seen increased activity on the nightly changelogs which suggest [CyanogenMod has] incorporated a call recording feature into its most recent nightlies. Generally speaking call recording is largely considered very grey in terms of the law and as such it seems CM is not offering this feature as a direct and obvious feature.
Instead what we are seeing is the call recording setting can be activated by the user but does require a little bit of knowledge. This presumably is a way for CM to avoid any direct law breaking. So to be accurate CM [is] now offering support for call recording although not the feature directly.

The only thing I find bad with this behavior is that Pipedot did not discuss this with Soylent.
Their registration of soylent-news.org seems predatory to me.

"Their registration of soylent-news.org seems predatory to me."
There's more to it than that. I took a quick look at comments I had submitted to SoylentNews.org. In the header for each SCRAPED comment is an e-mail address to use for contacting me: "martyb@soylent-news.org". But, I do NOT have access to that e-mail address. Anyone trying to contact me directly in response to something I posted on SoylentNews that was copied over to Pipedot is being intentionally misled that I can be reached there. My failing to respond to an e-mail sent there makes me look bad. And it seems there's nothing that I can see that I can do about it.
It gets worse.
As an editor at SoylentNews, I have submitted over 130 stories to the main page. In the masthead for each story, I am listed with an e-mail address, as well. Again, I cannot access that e-mail address. For that matter, any other editor or commenter who posted on the REAL soylentnews.org site, cannot access comments directed to them through the e-mail address posted on the scraped version of the soylentnews site.
Even more disturbing to me is that the owner of the domain soylent-news.org DOES have access to that e-mail account.
I have updated my sig on the real SN site to express my wishes, but pipedot fails to include the sig when it scrapes the SN site. So, I include it here, explicitly:

UPDATE: The provided e-mail address text: martyb@soylent-news.org is on an HREF that, when clicked, directs to: https://martyb.soylent-news.org/ [soylent-news.org]
A test e-mail bounced, and I got a generic web page about pipecode when I tried to access the link. If that is an attempt at providing attribution, it fails, and fails badly. Further, that test only reveals current behavior. I suspect no malice on the part of the current site owner, but a subsequent owner/maintainer could relatively easily change that behavior.
