Generally, you can stream copyrighted material legally by obtaining a license from the copyright owner. This can be done by entering into an agreement with the copyright owner, such as when streaming music through a service like Spotify, or purchasing a copy of the material that you want to stream. Additionally, certain exceptions and limitations to copyright law may allow for limited streaming of certain materials without permission from the copyright owner.

The easiest way to stream copyrighted material legally is to get a license from the owner of the material. Common licensing options include purchasing blanket music licenses from PROs (performing rights organizations) like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC or using online services like Groove3 or StreamLicensing. Alternatively, you can reach out to individual copyright owners directly for permission to use their work(s).
