Here is an article which kind of agrees with the long article above but is more granular in the definition of streaming versus downloading and how each applies to copyright violations. For those that do not want to read the article, I will give my interpretation of the main points made in the attached article.
1. Streaming a program in your home is not necessary illegal.
2. Downloading a program is a copyright violation.
I would question anyone or any service that say you can watch everything for free.
When is streaming illegal? What you need to know about pirated content
