Maybe, this may change in future answers. Consider if the country where it is broadcasted allows fair use. Owners can ban the broadcast of PPV events, and even issue a DMCA takedown. Check the [blocklist](https://github.com/iptv-org/database/blob/master/data/blocklist.csv) for more info about specific events, and this [counternotice](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/3ce1c9402c6b7e46dcbbea6ff866d6a44e75c72a/2020/10/2020-10-08-dfl-counternotice.md) indicating that a DMCA takedown is invalid if only one FTA channel infringes copyright.
