I was looking for this european movie from 10 years ago only last month, could not find it anywhere on line, streaming or torrent. I'm pretty confident there is still a lot of stuff missing. hey there's a project idea: a "todo list" for rippers that scrapes imdb and checks what's not in pirate bay (and then looks for dvd's on ebay / libraries)

Public trackers like the piratebay face a lot of issues with retention. If it’s not mainstream or recent people often don’t seed or maintain it. If you join a private tracker there’s ones dedicated to keeping older sources like that a live! For really obscure content, internet archive, your library, usenet or even eBay are the go to!

  SoulSeek was also pretty good for finding obscure music. I like collecting everything that was released (not live performances, though) and SoulSeek filled some, but not all gaps I had. It's not E2EE IIRC, though, so use with caution.

Out of curiosity, what movie? > hey there's a project idea: a "todo list" for rippers that scrapes imdb and checks what's not in pirate ba Private sites do things like this, archival efforts and have request systems.

Piracy is and always has been the only way for more obscure stuff. Personally I do not feel guilty pirating a decades old TV show or movie. And I really doubt the industry cares much either.

How can anyone sit through a length of a film, especially a European one, and not have a cigarette? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VzSiilYSKs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VzSiilYSKs

What movie was it? There’s a good chance I can find it. If you’re in Reddit, there’s also a subreddit dedicated specifically to this kind of thing (requests for stuff that is no longer available) called /r/DHExchange

  How about a non-vhs rip of Einstein's brain?

    I did some searching. I assume you mean “Relics: Einstein's Brain (1994)”? If so, it doesn’t look like it was ever released on anything but VHS, so I only found a TV recording and a VHS recording.
