Hello,
Yes and No, it all depends on the rights granted to the site.
In itself, streaming is not illegal. The biggest players on the web use this technology to distribute content.
However, there are sites like HDS.to that provide audiovisual programs (films, series, songs, etc.) without having the authorization and without paying copyright fees. These are therefore illegal.
Publishing audiovisual content on a streaming site without prior permission from the rights holders is considered fraud, and the maximum penalties are up to 3 years in prison and a €300,000 fine.
For HDS.to, it is not legal: No CVG, no address, etc.
Watching a video streamed illegally can be considered as aiding and abetting (benefiting from the product of a crime or offense knowingly).
In practice, the justice system tends to target the distributors of pirated content more than the general public. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid these platforms.
