    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    This is an M3U playlist for free TV channels around the World.

    To use it point your IPTV player to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Free-TV/IPTV/master/playlist.m3u8.

    The main goals for this playlist are listed below.

    The less channels we support the better.

    If a channel is normally only available via commercial subscriptions it has nothing to do in this playlist. If on the other hand it is provided for free to everybody in a particular country, then it should be in this playlist.

    This is a playlist for everybody.
