I checked into this last year for Pablo Larrain's *No* and, at least at that time, Sony Pictures Classics didn't offer streaming rights. Criterion Pictures has Canadian rights to some of their titles, but not U.S. rights.
The gentleman I heard from at Sony offered to book a classroom DVD screening (!?) and I had to remind him that, in fact, we would just apply section 110 if we were using the film in a face-to-face class setting. All best, Brian.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
