The bots themselves are generally legal, it depends on how you use it. Although in some legislation there is room to interpret them as illegal. A music bot can be put in the same category as a radio or a loudspeaker. In general you have paid a music service for the rights to listen to music in private. And playing it together with your friends and family is usually considered as private. But you can not play the music in public without additional permissions. Exactly what differentiates a private from public broadcast depend on legislation and interpretation.
