If LG violates wire-tapping laws, it's actually your fault.

from the LG EULA: You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to obtain all necessary consent from any third parties whose voices may be captured by the product, and to notify household members and guests that their voices may be captured and processed in compliance with applicable wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws.

    That's probably only legal in the US.

    It’s not legal anywhere. But crime is legal in the US, so good luck getting anything done about it.

    I've seen many a TOS that includes things that are technically unenforceable or otherwise in violation of current law. I guess the companies just like to hedge their bets. Who's going to stop them, right?
