or anything else that may assist me
This won't help you but I wanted to put it out there.
At one point (in early to mid 2011) there was a rip service where you pay in bitcoins a fee and the person would then rip the movie and send you a link to a torrent for it after it had been ripped and then uploaded. The provider's intention was to increase the number of different titles that could be found.
Because it was an anonymous request (tormail e-mail address or something like that, and payment in bitcoins) this was really a pretty clever idea. It only got a few requests and then Witcoin (bitcoin community where the service was offered) went away and I've not seen anything like it since.
