:/ You're pretty clearly being a bad actor here. Links to videos on their site that you need to log in to view? Totally no problem and they'd be unreasonable

You're pretty clearly being a bad actor here.

Deriving direct links to private content to make it accessible to the general public? Doesn't matter if their content has the security of a wet cardboard box, you should not be doing this.
I think they should probably be fixing deep linking to the content working for unregistered users instead of threatening you with legal action, but that doesn't make what you're doing OK.
- jackgolding 6y agoI agree, I've worked with universities who share content as private youtube videos, heck even businesses use "private links" accessible by anyone who has the link for spreadsheets etc. I don't think you have a guilt-free position, the fact your website is public puts you at risk of litigation (not a lawyer.)
