The ruling on recording courses and the like depends on copyright considerations, and the fatwa we adopt is that copyrights are to be respected absolutely. If the institution prohibits recording and distributing courses, then it is not permissible to subscribe for that purpose. If it does not prohibit it, then there is no objection to it.
