We have not done this but I would suggest submitting a detailed 
explanation of how this would work. As you know, they do not consider 
their audio program to be a freebie which labs should get into students' 
ears in any way possible. They charge for permission to copy or deliver 
in any form (at least this was the case last time we dealt with them, a 
year ago I think). They have however gotten a lot more open and 
reasonable than they were 6 years ago, so they might be willing to 
listen to what you have to propose and draw up some kind of permissions.
