A lot of streamers do it. They don't get sued.

If I am livestreaming, and use Spotify to play music for my viewers, would that be legal?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Video on demand. So just rebroadcasts of the streams will be muted if they use copyrighted music: 

 

" Starting today(, Twitch will be implementing technology intended to help broadcasters avoid the storage of videos containing unauthorized third-party audio.  We respect the rights of copyright owners, and are voluntarily undertaking this effort to help protect both our broadcasters and copyright owners."
