I would call a lawyer or Google some laws for the state you live in. You
could always see if there is a free legal aid number you could call and
present them with a "hypothedical situation"

  Bummer.

  Not sure if it's state law or Federal, but in CA it is *ILLEGAL* to
record a phone conversation unless there is a clear beep tone every x
seconds, or both parties consent to the recording. (If you call a help
desk, and they make an announcement "this call may be recorded for qc
purposes" then you have consented if you continue the call.) You/your
brother may open yourself to charges if you try to use the recording.
