I didn't express myself correctly. I meant to say that I have stored in My Pocket several educational videos. The person who posted these has since died and the institution that took them over has copyrighted them and is systematically taking down sites that posted them as they are found. I did not download the sites but they still survive in my pocket. It seems to me this won't last forever. Do I have to download them or can something else, like the archive option, protect them? If I have to download don't tie yourself up with details to respond, just say Download. Thanks for this. I can't find a guide for using pocket efficiently and it's getting unwieldy.
