No, your subscription to [Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.] is a personal licensing agreement that limits how you may use the streaming service. Wherever you make use of that streaming service – face-to-face or online – your account is for personal use only, and fair use does not apply.

This isn’t a matter of copyright; it’s a matter of licensing. Fair use exemptions have no place in contract law, and in paying for these types of services we each automatically agree to limitations on their use.

The Library subscribes to many for-educational-use streaming services that may offer the same or suitably similar films for your classes (see links below). Edit Link
