That example doesn't really work - the BBC enforces geo-restrictions because it sells its content internationally, to those who do not pay the license fee. There isn't really a library equivalent of that.
You could call Inter Library Loans a version of this, but it's free. If my library doesn't have a piece of media, it is very possible that I could get that piece of media from another library across the country. I might pay postage, but depending on the library, it might still be free. Like the non-brit who has not paid the licensing fee, I paid no taxes to the other library, but in this case I can still take advantage of that resource. This sort-of already happens with BBC and US Public Broadcasting, but I don't think BBC probably licenses anything back from WABE here.
But the library that you re borrowing from probably also borrows books from your library. So you have "paid" by sharing the books that your taxes have paid for with that library.
