Karpathy claims that the reason for the take down is due to 6 reasons given to them: "Closed captions, forms for students/invited speakers, potential copyright material, "quality/brand", ..."

He doesn't give the last two reasons.

Universities have been sued in the past for the lack of closed captions for lectures: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/13/education/harvard-and-mit-...

It would be great if the material was closed captioned, but it seems wrong to deprive everyone else of it for that reason.

CCs are the easiest to fix in this case

Isn't that six reasons?

The course in question is "CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition" - http://cs231n.stanford.edu/.
