I don't know about your system... but my system already has 349 folders in
/usr/share ... which would likely be overwhelming to John Q Public.
I'd suggest a different, perhaps dedicated, location if it is to be
system-wide.
    

If it's under /usr, it'd really have to be somewhere in %{_datadir},
i.e. /usr/share. And given that Fedora does not even use /opt, it's
hard to see it going somewhere else. 

Well... it could reside in a '/var/www'  location... could it not?

Such a location would make it easy for users to share the content from one server to
multiple computers, and is standard across distributions.

It's also, somewhat, less of a security risk, if my assumptions are correct.

Although perhaps
/usr/share/fedora-cc/{books,music,video,...} is less scattered than
/usr/share/{books,music,video,...}.
  

Agreed.

One consideration would be to have a fedora-cc-menus similar to
games-menus, that would make sure any contents appear in a reasonable
place in a user's applications menu.

I suspect that'll be helpful... especially for the 'John Q Public' (aka, 'Idiot Users') types.

Though a symlink to 'content' in each user's "/home" would, perhaps, be better?

Just food for thought.
