Faded into oblivion?

I recently acquired a taste for the old giallo movies of the 60's and 70's. After watching Giallo a Venezia and Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin, I did a little reading on the genre and learned of La Ragazza Che Sapeva Troppo, widely regarded as the first giallo. As such you'd think it would be relatively easy to find, right?
I searched through dozens of pages using several search engines and the films alternate titles, all to no avail. I did find a single site that streamed the movie without english subtitles, and that was IT.
Giving up on watching the movie for free, I decided to buy it on ebay. Again, there was ONE SINGLE COPY available on all of ebay, and the seller wanted over $50 for it. That was all, I couldn't even find an old VHS tape.
WTF? I just don't understand how a genre defining film like this is completly unavailable to the viewing public. To anyone who owns it, please put it online! A seminal film like this should not fade into obscurity.

If you have access to the Epix movie channels, Epix Drive-In is showing it this month. I just watched it last night. I saw it when I was very young but it's been so long it was like seeing it for the first time.
