Says the source that seems to be https://www.liveatc.net

Looks like you're right, this is breaking their TOS:

>4) Since there are only limited numbers of connections available for streams, and because the site is funded through advertising and donations, you agree to consult LiveATC.net prior to linking directly to any of the audio streams. When you do link you agree to give credit to LiveATC.net with a prominent link to www.liveatc.net.

Not nice.

Why jump to that conclusion? She could have consulted with them while building this.

I would hope crediting and/or linking LiveATC would be a part of such an agreement. More likely, they are breaking TOS.
There is a link to LiveATC. It isn't clearly labeled, but that isn't required in the TOS and since this site has been up since at least November of 2021, I expect they're fine with it.
Since the music is used without permission, it's reasonable to assume that the liveatc stream is as well.
I went to the link the music was playing from and it says

> This music is free to use for your videos/livestreams

So I don't know if we can assume either the music or the ATC stream is being used without permission.

It could be but without explicit credits one shouldn't wonder when others do question this assumption.
