> Piracy is certainly the easiest answer to this problem, and the only answer at the moment. The situation with these old films that have gone out of availability due to rights holders going out of business or no longer caring is a bit similar to the arcade machine ROM situation. The MAME community has done a great job of documenting the existence of and preserving the history of the ROMs they can find and highlighting the ROMs still missing while avoiding the legal quagmire by never distributing the ROM media itself. (what other people do on BitTorrent stays on BitTorrent). Maybe similar techniques can work for these films.
