Hi Naysan
I really enjoy your posts on the blog, and download several of them. One in particular about The Baha’i Faith in Papua New Guinea on EMTV, interested me. I have a Bahai radio program in Macarthur, 2mcr 100.3 f.m. every two Sundays that goes from 4 to 6 p.m. and constantly look for material to play. Please let me know if there is a copyright on this video, and can I play it tomorrow? Much appreciated.
Best Regards

and happy fasting.
