Copyright law exists so creators can create works and bring them to market in a economical manner.
If I livestream me reading a mystery novel in it's entirety I've devalued that work. This is because any viewers no longer could receive the same enjoyment from the novel meaning they're less likely to buy it. I've essentially republished their work, violating their copyright.
