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)
For really obscure content, internet archive, your library, usenet or even eBay are the go to!
It's not E2EE IIRC, though, so use with caution.
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

Private sites do things like this, archival efforts and have request systems.
Personally I do not feel guilty pirating a decades old TV show or movie. And I really doubt the industry cares much either.
