Is this stuff really legal? =/

[steve5451]

Ofcourse.
No more different then your friend inviting you over to his house to watch it!

It's not like he's giving you the file, just streaming it to you. =D

That's distribution I believe.

It's probably illegal.

This is like the third time I've seen you do this.

It's completely different. That's considered private viewing (close enough) which is legal.

No.

Most content is not legally allowed to be used for public performance. Potentially millions of people online is public. This is highly illegal.

You're thinking really small here.

[steve5451]

I see your point. But only 4 people were viewing.
That's legal in my book.

Imagine if maybe 100 people livestreamed it.

Or if 1 popular person livestreamed it.  Whenever Deadmau5 has a stream up he has over 1000 viewers.

Maybe over 15 people, but it was only 4. It's like inviting my bros over and watching dat new movie. :D
