AFAIK it is. A local TV station in my hometown used to stream El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulín Colorado from DVDs for a short while, even though the only TV network which had the streaming rights for those shows was SBT.

I suspect he meant streaming as a reciever when the physical media is in a different location.

It should be. It could be considered soft-core piracy as opposed to hard-core piracy.

It's legal to view a film via any means if you own the license to that film. It's legal to backup a movie to which you own a license for, and it's legal to view the movie from backup.

Such as asking someone to stream the movie through a Whatsapp video call?
