Do they not offer Videos of Lectures anymore?

  They definitely still do have videos. I use OCW quite a bit. Producing the videos, formatting, distributing, and hosting them is more expensive then going without them so sometimes they go without them.

  Most free video lectures throughout the web have been removed due to lawsuits against the institutions for not providing subtitles for the disabled.

    I think you're thinking of what happened to UC Berkeley, but I'm not sure this is true of "most" lectures. After all, many lectures already have subtitles, some lectures were produced outside the U.S. or not produced with Federal funding, some lectures were produced by institutions that may disagree with the interpretation of the law advanced in the Berkeley case, some lectures were produced by institutions that may not have been targeted with such claims, and some lectures are hosted by entities other than the institutions that produced them.

    Would you know if they might still be available directly from MIT, perhaps after accepting some type of legal indemnity?

  > Do they not offer Videos of Lectures anymore? Some courses have video lectures, some do not. OCW varies in what resources are available from course to course.
