As far as I can tell, this case went nowhere:

I'm curious if you know of any court cases that back up your position. I've connected to a lot of servers today and downloaded all the information they sent me.

I think that's a different issue. I can serve content behind a paywall, that doesn't make you entitled to it.

The OP explicitly called out logins. Are you being intentionally misleading or just dense or what?

The issue is about preventing users from watching if they block ads. Talking about logins is being intentionally misleading.

You can gate it behind watching ads.

What if you serve it to me from behind the paywall without me paying?

My client: "Hey, I didn't pay, but can I have that data?"

Your server: "Sure! Here it is!"
