This is not really true. I tried a few searches of more obscure movies and they don't have releases that are available on multiple private trackers.
That being said, if you can't find a release, the best option is to buy a DVD or BlueRay version of it.
yeah, i didn't want to get into the private tracker stuff, since i never used one before; i described pretty much the ressources you have as a "commoner". I am aware that there are many specialized sources out there, where a lot more obscure material is available, but most of those take special effort to gain access to.
There are also non-english language public trackers that don't leverage western style filename rules.
E.g. mazepa.to (Ukrainian) and rutracker.org (russian). The sites require registration (open to all), but the torrents are public (no ratio requirements and torrent do not have the private flag).
The search functions support English language titles with no issues at all. You can find any mainstream movie/show on both trackers. Rutracker has some niche content that I've not been able to find on specialized private trackers.
One drawback is that the trackers require local language dubs/VO, so some some content is never released on them.
And then rip it and upload so that the next person doesn't have to.
