It is not illegal to tape a phone call - recorded conversations are broadcast on radio stations daily.
However, if you record a conversation secretly and then want to use this as evidence later on against someone, in a court case for example, this is illegal.

What sort of conversations are they? Only in special circumstances could you do anything like it. I think those would be after having been given implicit or explicit permission to broadcast them. Give me concrete examples from memory or as far as I'm concerned COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL.
It is technically illegal to even record them for personal use without the other party being aware of it being recorded. Even if you never listen to them yourself it's illegal.
Why is it that half the time I say something in favour of escorts or against some of these tossers in the media that lots of people are coming in defending them and saying that you couldn't sue them even when it's there in black and white that it's completely illegal???
Even in the recently released Mel Gibson tapes they are considering suing him over them. Could Mel Gibson's Ex Get in Trouble Over Tapes? - E! Online The reason they mightn't sue is probably because Gibson mightn't be bothered going to court over something like that and is afraid it might hurt his reputation.

Not very stupid? They're calculating that the escorts won't know their rights or won't bother making a legal challenge against them or wouldn't know how to go about it and forget it. You're not talking about a big lawsuit, it might be around a thousand euro. Many of these cases are "in-camera" ones, which ironically means they're done privately without being allowed to be reported. They could also settle out of court.
It's a calculated risk. The radio station won't be going under if they're sued from it. Radio stations leave themselves open to legal challenges all the time, it's a balancing act. And this time they're counting on the escorts to be nonchalent about it and allow these people to walk all over them and make money at their expense.
