Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by, and normally displayed to, the end-user while it is being delivered by the provider.[1] Streaming media technolgy enables on-demand or real-time access to multimedia content via internet and allows users to play those contents without fully downloading them. After playing, there's no copy of played contents leaving on the receiving devices, which protects the copyright of the original mutimedia contents.
