  Is it legal for a healthcare organization to provide pre-loaded mp3 players with music purchased by the healthcare organization through iTunes or other like Music services? Basically the plan is to buy gift cards for iTunes, have a shared Apple ID at a workstation and to load multiple mp3 players with music the organization purchased. Will only be listened to by the patient privately in the room, not broadcasting over the hospital-wide system. Let's say we run into the same question about movies and TV shows (including providing DVDs for patients to watch or ripping CDs).

  The use you describe may be against the terms of use for iTunes.  The business model is individual consumer oriented - personal, non commercial use only. The terms of use probably says "no reproduction or further distribution."  On the other hand, this is a low risk type of activity. Not an infringement of copyright law, but technically violation of a contract.

  Good luck!
