* While all of the episodes of ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'' are available on the WWE Network, the same can't be said for its companion show ''WCW Thunder'', which didn't get added to the Network until 2018. And even then, only the show's first year and the first seven months of the 1999 shows were added. Given the show's role in causing [[CreatorKiller WCW's demise]], it's not that surprising WWE isn't enthusiastic about making the entire show available. Also, some episodes on the Network are presented incomplete due to master tape damage, which may partially explain the long wait.

* ''Animation/{{Akis}}'' was the very first Franchise/{{Nicktoon|s}} to be produced in an Asian country (specifically Malaysia). It does not appear to have a home media release, and episodes are extremely hard, if not outright impossible to find online.
* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': It's been near-impossible to watch the English dubs ever since they stopped airing. A couple of episodes have been uploaded online and there are some camrips of parts of episodes, but good luck finding full seasons.

* The LP recordings of ''The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy'' are long out-of-print and it's not clear who owns the rights, so they're likely to remain that way. Many fans reckon the performances and pacing, especially on the first album, are better than the original radio series.
!Theatre
* Trading show videos (also known as "footwear") is common among Broadway fans, who either like to collect everything their favorite performer has been in, to have a copy of a show that has never seen an official VHS/DVD release, or to check out international productions.
* ''Theatre/PokemonLive'''s soundtrack CD had a ''very'' limited release and is impossible to find anywhere to buy. The show itself was supposed to get a home video release, but it never materialized.
!ProfessionalWrestling
* Most {{Wrestling/ECW}} fans were supremely disappointed to find that one of the most powerful moments of the ''ECW One Night Stand'' reunion show, [[Wrestling/JimFullington Sandman]]'s entrance, was completely ruined for the DVD release due to the removal of not only Sandman's entrance music (Metallica's "Enter Sandman"), but also the crowd singing along to it. The original ECW may have replaced entrance themes for their home video releases themselves, but Wrestling/PaulHeyman was at least smart enough to get Motorhead to cover "Enter Sandman" so he could use their version for cheap without having to ruin the entire entrance.
** Speaking of which, pretty much anything ECW that's not published by WWE certainly qualifies; now that the ECW {{Revival}} experiment has degraded into a BShow, it's doubtful we'll see any other new ECW [=DVDs=].
*** Ditto for not fitting in their TV-PG policy.
** And even before then, in the early-to-mid 1990s, there was the era of the "tape trades" (e.g., fans in Philadelphia would trade VHS tapes of ECW shows in their area to other fans in New York City for NYC-based shows). Obviously, this was long before the advent of the internet and streaming videos.
** A popular dirtsheet story says that when Vince didn't allow Metallica to perform the song "St. Anger" live at a pay-per-view to promote the album of the same name, they later asked for an absurd sum for royalties every time Vince used "Enter Sandman", and that's why the ''One Night Stand'' DVD had the censored entrance.

* As mentioned above, any time licensed music is used for a particular wrestler, it's likely to be edited out in videos and rebroadcasts, especially if the WWE stops using the music. The most glaring example for a lot of fans is how "Real American" (which WWE still holds the rights to) is edited over "Eye of the Tiger" in replays of Hulk Hogan's earlier matches, which include his world title win over Wrestling/TheIronSheik and the first Wrestling/WrestleMania.
* For that matter, anything WWE-owned in their original forms (with original music, no blurring or censoring "WWF" utterances). Probably, then, all Wrestling/ChrisBenoit matches [[FunnyAneurysmMoment for the forseeable future]].
** For compilation sets, yes. However, WWE's released several pay-per-views on DVD following Benoit's death that have Benoit matches in them, simply because editing them out is unavoidable (most notably, the ''[=SummerSlam=] Anthology'' featured every iteration of that event, including several shows Benoit performed on).
** They managed to get around this for the Elimination Chamber anthology set by not advertising Benoit anywhere on the outer packaging (his name only appears on the chapter booklet and DVD menus) and removing any commentary during the Elimination Chamber match he was involved in that painted him in a positive light.

* WWE's 1999 ''Over the Edge'' event never has been, and never will be, released on any home video format in part or in whole; this is due to the death of Wrestling/OwenHart.
** Interestingly, on rare occasions highlights of Wrestling/TheUndertaker's match with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin have been shown when discussing Undertaker's title history, but nothing else from the pay-per-view.

* ''Hikuta: The Art of Controlled Violence'', based on the book of the same name by Dok Lee (real name Lee Crull). In this video, Dok (which according to Crull stands for "Defender of Kings") Lee demonstrates the techniques of Hikuta, an allegedly ancient martial art dating back to the bodyguards of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Initially, it was available by mail order on VHS during the early 1990s if you knew where to look for it (mostly from ads in magazines such as ''Black Belt'' and ''Soldier of Fortune''). Now, it is not known who owns the rights to the video since Dok Lee's death in 2000 and given the low budget, non professional quality nature of such productions (a regular instance in the martial arts community), it's not even certain if workable quality masters of the tape still exist.

* Vanity plates in general can get hit very hard with this. A notorious practice done by distributors is "plastering"--the practice of replacing the original logo used on a print of a film or episodes of television series with newer or more modern logos. Whereas some logos get lucky and are preserved on re-distributed prints (usually if it's handled by the same studio), any logos on films / television series that end up having [[ChannelHop their rights given to a new owner]] are virtually guaranteed to have this happen to them in newer re-releases; upon which people will have to hunt for older prints/releases to see the original logo in question. For enthusiasts of vanity plates, these events can be especially painful as logos can sometimes get all sorts of neat changes over the years of their use, varying from slight subtle changes (intentional or otherwise) that can only be spotted on select examples, to having entire [[LogoJoke logo jokes]] that perfectly fit the attached film/television show in question. Not helping matters is that vanity plates from older films / television shows are also subject to film deterioration, so they don't look or sound quite as good as they were originally intended; or can end up being [[EditedForSyndication edited out for running time]] or [[CreditsPushback squeezed down to a fraction of its size]] if attached to a show under syndication or attached to a "television network" cut of a film, so you can't even get a good look at the vanity plate in question (if you even see it at all).
** The Closing Logos Wiki, a wiki site for vanity plates, acknowledges logo preservation/circulation through an "Availability" section for logo descriptions, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Logos are given documentation on the films/television shows/etc. they appear on (and if they appear on later releases/prints of those properties), which are then used to rank logos on a scale of said availability; ranging from "very common" (logos that are widely used by the distributor, especially for plastering purposes) to "extinct/near extinction" (logos that can be found on ancient prints/releases, but have otherwise been replaced by other logos and/or are impossible to find).
