You don't need one for it to be legal. You need one to prove it.
In the case of the conversation, you could claim that I was lying, or had found out by spying on you instead of being told by you. In a court case, it would be your word against mine.
However, with a medium like ICQ, you take away that problem - the logs can serve as proof that the conversation did indeed take place.
It's why negotiations on business deals and such often involve non disclosure agreements. Without them, people would be free to talk about what happened and what was said.
