There may or may not be a company still called RKO ( the actress Dina Merril basically bought the name) but it has nothing to do with films produced by RKO. The majority of the RKO library is in fact owned by WB but post 48 titles can be messy.
It does sound like WB is the owner if that is the case than Swank can license it like they can other studio titles but studios basically never SELL films with PPR.

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.
