That aspect is frustrating. I took all of Dr. Chuck's "Python for Everybody" courses, and have lost access to the videos. There have been times when I would have liked to have reviewed the videos, because while I did learn the material and perform the work at the time, I hadn't used that knowledge much in the months since. I feel as though I'm losing some of it, and would like to review. Having paid $300+ for the courses, I don't feel I should have lost access to the materials.

My wife works with Dr. Chuck and helps produce the university of michigan's coursera videos. She says you should absolutely still have access to those videos, and if you don't you should contact Coursera's support.
If you paid for it on the old Spark platform (over a year ago) those classes were migrated to their new system so you might need to resign up, but you shouldn't need to repay. The URL to use for requesting is: http://learner.coursera.help

One thing I like about Udemy (disclaimer: I work there) is the lifetime access policy for premium content.

This seems to be what was indicated in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11881767
I was under the impression that would remove access to old courses by June 30 for those who hadn't paid. Removing access for those who've paid goes too far.
