Coursera shuts access to old platform courses

I don't think that would be legal. Coursera ToS definitely prohibits something like this.

I can see a case for a torrent with the courses mysteriously appearing on some torrent site and someone linking it here, though. Man, those cheeky pirates! They can't leave anything alone.

(I don't personally have bandwidth for something like that, sadly. Of course I'm also not a pirate.)

A violation of the "Coursera ToS" doesn't imply that something illegal was done. But even if it did I doubt that it would carry any weight outside of the US.

Have some heart. This is completely Ethical. What about millions of people around the world who does not even have bank account to pay. Remember the authors does not get screwed. Their life will not get modified drastically. Only the undeserved people who are making money out of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already had it. It would (unfortunately) be surprising if they chose to redistribute it, though.
