I'd say no -- if they were shark attack programs, /usr/local could be
appropriate. (/usr/local is for local programs)
If they are files (movies, documents, MIDI files, ....), they should be either
in /home/<user> ... (keep reading)

I've had some input into the FHS -- read more below -- but I don't remember
offhand about /srv -- I vaguely think that is ok, but keep reading ...

I (some time ago) read the FHS more than once, and had some input into
changing some portions of it (related to /home -- my intent was to allow
<user> owned files to be either in /home/<user> or in some other, arbitrarily
named, top level directory chosen by the user.
I do this all the time, and I believe I am in compliance with the FHS.
If anyone (who is familiar with the FHS) believes different, I'd like to know,
and I would then attempt to amend the FHS appropriately.
