As far as I’ve seen from the Python code, it is a hack from someone who figured out that the SS videos are hosted on Brightcove, so the code simply downloads the videos directly from Brightcove bypassing SS entirely (hence the reason why it doesn’t need an account to do that)
It is the same as with other course sites that host their videos on Wistia and they download the videos directly from Wistia - it’s the same principle.
And to answer your question: yes, using that code to download the videos without a paid account is considered an illegal hack.
