Legal Question in Intellectual Property in North Dakota

I am working on a project for a university resident hall. The project is to create a room with a home theater system to show movies and play games. The room is currently accessible by anyone who has the building key. To create the Home theater room, We are making the room private. This is done by having one key that will be "checked out." when a resident checks the key out they will sign a form that gives full responsibility of the equipment, guests, and activities in the room. My question is will viewing movies from a dvd or other media be infringing on any copyright laws. If so is there a solution for this room?

Where is the viewing content coming from? DVD? Cable? Computer? If someone owns a movie on DVD and brings it to view in the theater room, there would be no problem. If someone is illegally downloading movies, that could be a problem for them.
