### Can I add a FTA channel that broadcasts PPV events or pay programming?
Maybe. 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.
Please remember that by sharing a link to a FTA channel, you are **indexing** the link, not **restreaming** their content. This subtility makes most of the DMCA takedowns false and invalid under law.

A good example of this would be [Perfect 10 v. Google](https://www.eff.org/fr/cases/perfect-10-v-google).
Some [valid takedowns](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/6486) do occur when a Pull Request is made to notify us that we should not index their channels.

After you have your m3u8 link, add your channel information onto the [Database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database) repository, and submit an [issue](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/new) to propose it to us.
Note: There are cases of broadcasting a copy of third-party content (released previously in public) with the purpose of promoting, educating or commenting. This is known as fair use (also called "fair dealing" or "copyright exception") and should be important when broadcasting without problems on your TV channel.
### Is it possible to limit the broadcasting of my channel to my country only?
If you do not want the channel to be broadcast outside your country (for legal reasons), we recommend using the [Geo-blocked] tag for your stream.
