I'd say that a random person is more likely to have access to a computer and usable internet than access to the library. The "technical knowledge" involved in downloading videos involves having a torrent client and a codec pack installed (two download-and-run installers.. my gran could do it).

Then, you go to your torrent site, click on what you want, and wait. Nowadays, it's no harder than downloading any other random file from any other random site.
