Copy them, share them, they are all yours for the downloading. The only requirement is that you copy the items in their entirety and not just a portion of it. I'm just glad to be able to help out and give some of my work away to help out.
To copy the videos, right click the mouse on the video link that you want to copy and select "save target as". Some of the videos files can be quite large so they take a while to copy. If you havequestions about the videos or have one to add, let us know at: info@brainfiller.com
