Some companies, Dream Body, for example, hires a service to stream their streaming videos. With the service that Dream Body is using you can not download the video. There is no way to download the video. I believe you can not download streaming videos from Amazon and Netflix, so that's a mute point, too. Other companies do not use the same technology that hinders one ability to download a streaming video. I have no idea if it's legal, but I normally don't see these companies making a big whoopie do over it. People pay for their service, which is usually a monthly subscription, so they are getting paid something. A

Jessica Smith is fabulous. And I love her free videos. But I guess what people don't realize is that Jessica can post all of her stuff for free because she doesn't have EMPLOYEES to pay. Jessica has a day job where she gets her income. If she had a business to run then she would need to be compensated for the stuff she posted.

I can't read the minds of people offering subscription services for streaming videos, but I do know that when we (at the library) purchase a video for streaming in an online course, the license for streaming is completely different and has time limits, as opposed to the license we get from purchasing the DVD, which allows us to check it out until it deteriorates. Technically, if you download a video to keep if the instructor thought she was only selling you streaming rights, you could be depriving her of revenue.

I just glanced through the thread, not interested in the slightly argumentative (lol, in my opinion) posts. I don't think it is out of line to ask the question and I don't think it is out of line to reply with a rhetorical question about would the op (or anyone, I guess) copy a Redbox DVD for their personal use. It is just a discussion.
Anyhow, I think unless it is specifically stated in the terms of the subscription that you have the right to make a copy of the product for your personal use, it is not implied that you may do so, even if it is possible to do so. In no way is it applicable under Fair Use, that is actually a whole other principle. If it is stated that you may make a copy then cool, make a copy. This is one reason I don't like streaming.

All subscriptions are not the same. I don't think you can compare a subscription to a streaming video to a magazine subscription. What a publisher transfers to you in a magazine is a print copy which by it's very nature is re-readable or re-usable. I thing a more fair comparison is a Kinetix Flix subscription. Something that you have permission to use for the period of time you are paying for the subscription.
I agree with those that say the best thing to do is ask Teri Walsh. I think this is also the smart thing to do, because if providers of streaming videos find that their videos are being downloaded against their wishes we can bet that we'll see prices go up.
