Glad you asked. When we do a show for a company like B&L, their lawyers vet every single piece of material before we can even market the show. In fact, i've even been told that I've had to change stuff like the colors I use in the graphics when marketing the event... the amount of minutia is mind-numbing. It can take up to 2 months to even get a show's material 'approved'.
Typically when we seek this legal clearance, it is for live events ONLY -- recorded events ar apparently subject to an entirely different level of scrutiny. So this is why the pharmacos are adamant about us not rebroadcasting a drug lecture.
In the future, I can try to seek approval for rebroadcast, but just know htat the sponsoring company may be unwilling to jump through those kinds of hoops.
(devices, CLs, and software typically don't have this kind of scrutiny, for whatever reason..)
