Using FetchV browser extension record mode I was downloading whole videos last night with the intention of putting together a torrent and then using head tracking python projects to further analyze. You just have to play them through or hurry through the buffer. Works fine if you want to try it. I got enough insurance in case this whole thing goes south and disappears but am thinking it is not worth the effort. Political pressure needs to be applied to change the permissions so videos can be downloaded normally, there is no reason not to.
