If you're watching from an authorized site (netflix.com, hulu.com), streaming is not illegal. These types of sites pay a royalty to the copyright owner. If you're streaming movies from an unauthorized site, you may be liable for contributory copyright infringement. Feel free to contact me if you have a question about a specific site.
