I think that problem has been solved for the most part. https://reelgood.com/ https://reelgood.com/ and other services are excellent for it. To me, the real issue is finding movies/tv shows where you cannot buy or rent them. Amazingly, it is still an issue in this world. I would love to see The Bob Mathias Story from 1954. It was created by Allied Artists that has been bought and sold a few times ending up at ViacomCBS. Through many weeks of trying to find out if I could get a copy the best I could get was ViacomCBS sometimes allows it to be shown on TV. I want to buy/rent a copy of movie that exists and cannot. How in 2020 can this happen?

No counts here, which is one reason I use https://www.justwatch.com https://www.justwatch.com Sometimes I'm curious about how many movies a service has.

This is not unilateral, and not the terminal answer. Due to the bundling going on right now, many shows are getting pushed behind absurd paywalls. For example, if I would like to watch Season 11 of RuPaul Drag Race, I would need to get a subscription to FuboTV, a "live sports and TV" service with 100+ standard cable channels. The best price they can do to include this content is $65 / mo. For a single show I care about! After some checking around, I did find it for $20 / season on Amazon, which comes with the following license agreement: > Offers and pricing for subscriptions (also referred to at times as memberships), the subscription services, the extent of available Subscription Digital Content, and the specific titles available through subscription services, may change over time and by location without notice (except as may be required by applicable law). So... I can give them $20 for them to stream it to me for however long they'd like. It is impossible to buy the series on DVD. This is not an isolated incident. As with the late what.cd, at some point these torrent services also serve as an archive of secondary and rare work. This particular example does not fall into that category, but it is not hard to find others, such as the classic Max Headroom, that do (https://reelgood.com/show/max-headroom-1987 https://reelgood.com/show/max-headroom-1987).

Not available in my region lmao nothing is solved. Region locking is deeper than just what a single service can do.
