Is It Legal?

That's the big question we get. Answer, yes, it is legal.

“When the user downloads even part of a file — called pseudo-streaming — it counts as a copy of copyrighted material, which is illegal. And when the user streams content as a public performance — namely, when it’s shown to a substantial number of people outside the normal family circle and its close acquaintances — it also constitutes a copyright violation. Outside of these cases, accessing unlicensed streamed content is generally legal.” 

Jim Gibson, , Director of the Intellectual Property Institute at the University of Richmond Law School

It is legal because you are not downloading the content, you are streaming it. Meaning there is never a large portion of the content stored on your device, and we at bandStream do not host or supply any files or links.
