Sven,

I think if their terms of service offend you (and I can certainly
understand why you aren't willing to share that info) the proper thing
to do is avoid their products, not attempt to circumvent their system.

There are quite a few video downloading options - I think you'd get
farther asking the list for one that does what you want without the
disliked parts.
