For web pages, yes, (which is why tools such as Pocket are legal) but not for video - that's a whole new ballgame. Video is streamed, not downloaded as a whole and then played. Streaming and downloading are entirely different operations. Any online video has an implicit licence to stream it, but that certainly doesn't mean that it's OK to download the whole thing and store a local copy of it.
