Thats pretty direct to me.

I am in IT. Between the event and the screen there is a lens, and digital converter, a bunch of processors, an IP connection to a wire or OTA transmission, retransmission through multiple stations, quite possibly a low flying satellite, to the service doing the live stream, through a bunch more processors, through another network connection, through more OTA transmissions, possibly including satellite, to your broadband company, to your network connection, to your phone or screen. Probably causing a two second delay. Some live streams may insert a seven-second delay.

No, that is not direct.

Are you KIDDING ME?! Probably?

You don't KNOW? After all, you're in IT.

What is live streaming? (from above) Streaming is the method of data transmission used when someone watches video on the Internet. It is a way to deliver a video file a little bit at a time, often from a remote storage location. By transmitting a few seconds of the file at a time over the internet, client devices do not have to download the entire video before starting to play it.
Live streaming is when the streamed video is sent over the Internet in real time, without first being recorded and stored.
Streaming isn't the same as live streaming.
But you knew that, you're in IT.

But you can't show me that in law, despite your flow of oral verbosity.

You can't even give a legal definition of firsthand because it doesn't exist in Black's, only first-hand...the British style.
