I personally would frown upon a recurring billing scheme for a file that I'm
only going to listen to / watch while on the museum grounds. By all means
put an expiration date on the thing so it can't be used later on, but
rebilling a credit card every month until the patron cancels it seems a
little extreme and would put that organization in a very bad light with me.

Something along this line on the revenue stream.
I recently purchased a new Samsung phone and, like
good cell phoners who want to personalize their tunes,
I downloaded a number of songs from a for-fee site
(nominal cost). However, when I examined the option
available through my cell phone provider (in this
case, Sprint), I was chagrined to see that a download
was $2.50 AND (most importantly) it was for a 90-day
license. If you wanted to continue to use that tune
for more than 90-days, you'd have to pay another
$2.50.
Now, I don't have an IPOD (but it seems like everybody
on public transportation here in LA does these days),
but it would seem to me that a museum could
conceivably go for a short-term license to use the
materials (automatically renewable via credit card, of
course), or a permanent license at an incremental fee.
I don't know the logistics of this, but it would seem
entirely plausable to me that you could have a
continued income stream from one transaction.
