Copyright aspects of downloading and streaming

Copyrights are like rules that say who can do certain things with art or music. Downloading and streaming are two different ways of getting music and movies over the internet.

Downloading means that you are copying the file and keeping it on your computer. When you download something, it's important to make sure you have permission from the owner of the song or movie you want. Otherwise, it may be breaking the copyright law.

Streaming is like watching a movie or listening to a song on the internet. When you stream a song or a movie, you are not copying it, so you don't need permission from the copyright owner. However, you usually have to pay for streaming services, like Netflix or Spotify.
