@ -67,7 +67,11 @@ Yes, we need the links to be publicly accessible like FTA packages (free-to-air)
Based on [#480](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/480).
### 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 own [counternotice](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/3ce1c9402c6b7e46dcbbea6ff866d6a44e75c72a/2020/10/2020-10-08-dfl-counternotice.md) indicating that a DCMA 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.
