I can buy Bewitched on amazon, streaming or dvds, but that would involve me spending a tiny amount on it (less than £1/hour) I'm not sure that comparing having to pay a nominal amount for something that's trivially available with harbouring escaped slaves is the slam dunk you think it is, or why another company should profit from your reluctance to pay the creators.

The point about escaped slaves is to point out that legality and morality are only loosely correlated. I was making a general point about media companies and older media that seems to have escaped you and not specifically talking about Bewitched, but your mention of "pay the creators" raises the question of who exactly receives money from the sale of DVDs. Sol Saks is arguably the creator of Bewitched and he died back in 2011, so I have my doubts about whether copyright law is working as intended to incentivise him to make more shows. Edit: Just had a look on wikipedia and everyone listed there in relation to Bewitched is now dead.
