What would you say is the most interesting piece of Lore? The part that makes him fully functional?

And there are extensions like LibRedirect so that clicking on a YouTube link in Firefox will open the video in Freetube.
Why would they?
I seem to remember hearing something like this, too.
Yeah, it gets complicated and I am not a lawyer.
But if the material is under copyright, and the uploader is just some random person, not the copyright holder or a distributor licensed by the copyright holder, then I won't post it here, due to community rule #3.
What I personally will link here, according to my interpretation of rule #3: free-gratis content from the following kinds of source:
-
Licensed streaming VOD services, that only offer movies for which they have signed deals with copyright holders. That includes Tubi and Fawesome; even though they are free and have silly names, they are not pirate services. (IIRC both owned by Fox/Disney.) I consider 100% of content on those sites legit to link here. There are other such free services, like Free Movies+ (like my Fear City post), Flixhouse, The Archive (different from the Internet Archive) etc.
-
YouTube links from channels that appear to be licensed distributors of that content. I go to the channel's homepage or "About" page and see if they say they are licensed to distribute that content. (Admittedly, I am mostly just taking their word for it.) Example: Filmix, whose About page says " Please note that all movies have been licensed for publication on YouTube and are geo-restricted to the corresponding territories of the rights holder. " E.g. I originally watched Skyscraper and Maniac Cop on licence-claiming YouTube channels (although I later found out there were better versions on Tubi or Fawesome).
-
Public domain content, from any source (the Internet Archive, PeerTube, YouTube, etc.) E.g. I posted The Yesterday Machine from a YouTube source, found via Cinetimes.
-
Cinetimes is a "metasite" that collates movies from source types 2 & 3. Basically, they claim to have already done the filtering out of unlicensed content for you. Again a matter of trust, but here is their page on copyright. A test search for "dead or alive" did not return those results from the Internet Archive that I feel are not licensed, so they do filter out at least some unlicensed uploads.
What I won't post here (re rule #3):
-
Obvious copyright-infringement links like P2P, cyberlockers, pirate streaming, Popcorn Time-type stuff etc.
-
YouTube / PeerTube / Internet Archive links that do not convince me they are from licensed uploaders. Obviously, this requires some effort on my part beyond just deciding if it's on YouTube etc. Occasionally, I'll find a movie on YouTube, check the uploader's channel and see that it claims it's licensed but something convinces me otherwise. E.g. one didn't actually give the titles of the movies, just descriptions. Dodgy! Another had big studio flicks that no way were going to be licensed to some pissant little YouTube channel, let alone for free viewing.
If the uploader's offerings are too good to be true for free, I won't link here. Just because YouTube/Internet Archive hasn't taken it down yet doesn't mean it's actually legit.
I used to assume if it was on the Internet Archive, it was legit, but over time I realized basically anyone can upload anything they want there.
And, given how notoriously fiendish rights issues can be, the fact that the uploader has uploaded a range of films from completely different production companies and distributors would suggest to me it's a fan uploading things they are not licensed to.
(Checking out the files of another person who also uploaded Dead or Alive there, they seem even less likely to be a licensed source.)
Oh cool! Now men have Cosmo quizzes, too!
Unfortunately, the usual legit sources don't seem to have this one but Tubi has a couple of other Miike movies (Full Metal Yakuza, Izo) and Fawesome has one (Deadly Outlaw: Rekka).
That map, from when the KMT also claimed Mongolia, Tibet, the entire South China Sea, chunks of India and Pakistan and half of central Asia were all eternal parts of China.
Maybe ripe for a joint location... only for the authorities to find the poor doggos at Central Bark running on treadmills to power the holosuites at Quark's.

Trailer
Full movie
(Warning: there's a licensed copy available on YouTube, 1hr 19min, but it screws up the ending, cutting most of it. It was only after running into that problem that I finally remembered it was on Fawesome, complete at 1hr 25min.)
I'm pretty sure I saw this in the 90s. I remembered it a lot more "exploitationy" but seeing it now it was more like a fairly competent TV movie. Maybe the sequels are trashier and I'm confusing the original with the sequels. (For example, I could have sworn I remember seeing Robert Z'Dar in Hell Comes to Frogtown, but it turns out he's only in Return to Frogtown which I didn't even realize existed.)
Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne, children’s poet Shel Silverstein and Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson have joined Judy Blume, Sarah J. Maas, Eric Carle and Kurt Vonnegut on a mind-boggling list of hundreds of books purged from some Tennessee school libraries.
But later, when she found out he beat the Kobayashi Maru, she dumped him. She could never date a cheater.
