----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Berna et al, I think this may be called broadcast or broadcasting rights rather than a site license? When I ordered videos for the Fine Arts Library here, I specifically did not purchase these rights (for budget reasons), but we were given the go-ahead (by our legal counsel) to allow classroom showings (for study). Public showings such as part of museum exhibitions (esp. for our performance art videos or works of videographers) were not permitted without first obtaining broadcast rights. And if videos are checked out to users it's for "home use" only. We expect our borrowers to comply with the law but really we do not have any way to track this (neither do video rental stores). My advise is to check with your institution's legal counsel.
