Venom was sold contracted by another studio as a seperate property, but the project never took off and the rights were sold/reverted back to Sony.
It's like Wolverine and Spiderman. They're both Marvel of course, but ones Sony and the other's Fox. This means its illegal for one to include the other character. Same goes for the villians under the agreement.
Whatever the studio that made Daredevil is owns the exclusive movie rights to Daredevil, Elektra, Bulleye and Kingpin. And it's not Sony Columbia. I think it's Dimension, and I don't know how long their rights last for but I'd assume it's for a while longer.
