+### Can you add support for this anime video site, or site which shows current movies for free?
+
+As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube-dl does not include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright. As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e. that has been uploaded by the creator, the creator's distributor, or is published under a free license), the service is probably unfit for inclusion to youtube-dl.
+
+A note on the service that they don't host the infringing content, but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should **not** be included into youtube-dl. The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute. A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows copyright-protected videos in full without authorization.
+
+Support requests for services that **do** purchase the rights to distribute their content are perfectly fine though. If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the legitimate purchase of content.

 ### How can I detect whether a given URL is supported by youtube-dl?
 
-For one, have a look at the [list of supported sites](docs/supportedsites). Note that it can sometimes happen that the site changes its URL scheme (say, from http://example.com/v/1234567 to http://example.com/v/1234567 ) and youtube-dl reports an URL of a service in that list as unsupported. In that case, simply report a bug.

In that case, simply report a bug.
 
 It is *not* possible to detect whether a URL is supported or not. That's because youtube-dl contains a generic extractor which matches **all** URLs. You may be tempted to disable, exclude, or remove the generic extractor, but the generic extractor not only allows users to extract videos from lots of websites that embed a video from another service, but may also be used to extract video from a service that it's hosting itself. Therefore, we neither recommend nor support disabling, excluding, or removing the generic extractor.

+As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube-dl does not include
+support for services that specialize in infringing copyright. As a rule
+of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service is quite
+obviously allowed to distribute (i.e. that has been uploaded by the
+creator, the creator's distributor, or is published under a free
+license), the service is probably unfit for inclusion to youtube-dl.
+
+A note on the service that they don't host the infringing content, but
+just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should not be
+included into youtube-dl. The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole
+front page of the service is filled with videos they are not allowed to
+distribute. A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service
+shows copyright-protected videos in full without authorization.
+
+Support requests for services that do purchase the rights to distribute

+.SS Can you add support for this anime video site, or site which shows
+current movies for free?
+.PP
+As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube\-dl does not
+include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright.
+As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service
+is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e.
+that has been uploaded by the creator, the creator\[aq]s distributor, or
+is published under a free license), the service is probably unfit for
+inclusion to youtube\-dl.
+.PP
+A note on the service that they don\[aq]t host the infringing content,
+but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should
+\f[B]not\f[] be included into youtube\-dl.
+The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service
+is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute.
+A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows
+copyright\-protected videos in full without authorization.
+.PP
+Support requests for services that \f[B]do\f[] purchase the rights to
+distribute their content are perfectly fine though.
+If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the
+legitimate purchase of content.
