Twitch makes their streams public - no account needed, and no login needed to view them. It's arguable whether this is truly private - I'm not taking a position here, just that this is contested law [0]. Twitch would have a much stronger position if you had to be logged in to view the content. One analogy to this is the regulating power that the government has over broadcast TV vs cable TV - the restrictions tend to be quite different.
