If it were altruism I'd applaud any effort. But their alailable lectures seem to be a bid to bring more students in to full enrollment. Poor video quality, as long as the awesomeness of the course itself can be seen, doesn't work against this goal.

If it were altruism they would soon enough be out of business and in the future content like this would no longer be made available.

Have you seen MIT OCW videos?
