I even seem to remember an ATP written question specifically asking if cockpit voice recorders could be used in certificate or legal action.
It is contrary to the FARs, and you are not likely to see any change.
I urge people to realize that most of this talk of rules changes and policy changes, in the aftermath of a crash, is just that. It's talk. The inertia against rule changes, and particularly any rule change that has an economic impact on the companies, such as large changes to flight and duty time regulations, is just not going to happen.
