Is this legal? What if the media was from Hotel Cameras?

  He listened to a public stream, there's no indication that they were attempting to secure it in any way. So, legal. Now, if he had done as others have suggested and injected "malicious" packets into the stream, then we'd have a question.

  At least around here, if it was from cameras, the hotel would be the one committing an illegality.

    You don't have an expectation of privacy in hallways and elevators.

      Yes, I know that's the US concept. Around here the view is a little less binary, as the law recognizes a difference between being seen (or even being filmed occasionally, by an handheld camera) and surveillance cameras, which can be used to track your movements. The hotel could still have them, mind you, but transmitting them in the clear would be a clear violation of the law, which in fact specifically cites the "transmission of the recordings over a network" as something that must be secured.
