I would not sign any agreement that prohibited the desired usage.

Dear VideoLib,
Just to let you know; we bought a Nightline segment from ABCNewsStore.com
and got the site license agreement mentioned in previous e-mails (good for
2 years, $25 renewal). I called on this; their customer service department
said
1) they will call customers on this
2) any showing outside the home requires this license (even face-to-face
classroom instruction)
3) non-news shows may not require this license, but because it's a news
show, they can require it.
4) if you don't choose to pay the $25, the tape is supposed to sit on your
shelf unused.
Seeing as I can buy the same show from Films for the Humanities and
Sciences, I wonder if it's worth the fuss...
