Hello,

Is streaming (viewing online) copyrighted material illegal for individuals. 
According to the copyright.gov website this seems to be completely legal for 
the viewer when there isn't a copy of the work on the viewers computer. It only 
mentions hosting streams as being a misdemeanor, even if there isn't any 
profit. 

This is becoming a huge issue as more content consumers become cord cutters. 
Has any librarians faced these questions?

I am planning on implementing Kodi in my library, but will only make public 
domain material accessible. Kodi provides an excellent user interface for 
organizing and viewing public domain material. 

Thanks,
