1. Copyright Protection Courses are created by experts, trainers, or partner companies. LinkedIn Learning must respect intellectual property rights: allowing free downloads could lead to unauthorized distribution. 2. Subscription-Based Business Model Content is accessible as long as the subscription is active. If videos were downloadable, this would allow users to keep the content even after canceling their subscription, which would contradict the revenue model. 3. User Experience Control By keeping videos on the platform, LinkedIn Learning can track progress, offer quizzes, certificates, etc. This also allows courses to be updated regularly without users having to use an outdated version.
