Protecting copyright? Bah humbug

I am trying to find one of my favorite movies, The Secret Garden, for my granddaughter here.
Most recent Disney films can be found in the stores, most of the "action" movies can be found at the palenke, But older Classic movies, forget it.

I found Shirley Temple's the Little Princess on line free at a classic movie site, but can't find the old Margaret O'Brien film on line so far. So I tried to download it from Amazon...and found they won't download to an overseas site.

Sigh...I guess I won't be able to download US TV shows either...since YouTube has been taken over by Google, they have removed SouthPark,.... although most of them ARE shown here a couple months later...

Presumably they are guarding it from Chinese pirating...you know, the pirates who film the latest hits and distribute them so efficiently that we can buy them at the Palenke for 50 cents the week BEFORE they open in Manila?

Next step, Limewire....
