Many, many streamers have been getting away with streaming copyrighted music for a while now, by simply not recording VODs (or, recording them in such a way that the music is excluded).

My understanding is that this practice is still technically illegal (since live-broadcasting music without recording it is still something you need copyright permission for), but significantly more difficult for record companies to crack down on.
