Playing TAU lectures from videos.tau.ac.il

Hi areal,

Just for clarification,
I didn't intend in any way to help infringing your copyrights, rather to
help a person to use your system.

You arise an interesting point,
Would it be illegal for a TAU student to create other software that isn't IE
, hat would allow access to the portal ?
For instance a perl  based mechanism (I really love cpan :-) ) -
 that would allow him to access securely(*) to his content ?
For example an extension to mazrim that would authorize connection to the
content?

I'm asking this after I got a similar answer from one content provider.

P.s.

sorry for the grammer and spelling
