I've heard how it can be sketchy to stream things due to copyrights and whatever, but what are safer ways to do it? Specific sites, methods, etc. I only intend to stream for some individual friends, but I only know them online
Maybe streaming general?

If you're talking about streaming existing content, the safest way to stream it is something like synchtube where you can host the files on a provider that will let you remain anonymous.

the illegality of streaming lies in a little clause of copyright law. basically if anything is copyrighted, it is illegal to redistribute, copy, or show it outside of extremely vague uses without the permission of the owner.
There is no law against watching copyrighted video/ music, but hosting and uploading can land you in trouble.
In the past, people have gotten around this by using neutral or unregulated countries to host or stream from

Dude, it's totally safe to stream soykaf. I've been searching "watch free [name of tv series or whatever] online" in search engines for like 4 years, way safer than torrents and better with youtube-dl and a decent adblocker
every few years the best sites change, projectfreetv, watchseries, etc.
always makes me laugh at dudes who insist that torrenting and usenet are the best. Like bro: just google it and watch it in your browser. No need to deal with sketchy downloads and private trackers and soykaf

I meant if it was safe to be the streamer.
I think there are pros and cons to both streaming your media and downloading. With downloading you get to actually have it and can watch without internet as many times as desired. But if you don't have storage space for this, or internet won't be an issue, than streaming is better

i use a server one of my friends set up, but we also use ustream and even twitch to stream and its fine. if you use twitch your account will eventually be derezzed but ive never had a copyright notice after streaming for about 3 years using any service or custom server. There used to be a lot of other services like castamp and dotstream but they have all been taken down in the past year or so.
