I have a potential project where the store owner wants to sell access to a series of videos that contain instructions on how to perform certain tasks. Has anyone done something like this with a recent version of nop? Some concerns are preventing sharing of the videos and abuse via sharing logins, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is difficult if you aren't using
DRM on your video content.
Your options are very limited...
You can create a password-protected topic page for each of your premium videos and after the order is complete, email the new customer the URL and login to the topic page...a potentially tedious manual procedure.
And you could buy this plugin:
https://www.nopcommerce.com/p/1230/smart-campaigns-promotional-e-mailings-to-users-reminders-foxnetsoftcom.aspx..it will allow you to configure post-sale email messages(for each of your video products) to be sent to the customer containing the URL and login info for the password-protected video topic page..
There is nothing to prevent your customers from sharing the URL to the video pages and the login...except the following:
IF you manually add each new video customer to a particular ACL role, for example:
VideoBuyer role
...and you configure the password-protected video topic page to allow access to only Administrators and VideoBuyer roles.
Then, even if they share the password for the topic page with a friend, the friend cannot access it without ALSO logging into your site as the customer who purchased the video.
