It's not about what I think; it's a fact that there's an abundance of creative media produced by people not getting paid for it.

If this was true, people wouldn’t try to pirate copyrighted content because they’d be busy with this supposed abundance of free creative media.
People pirate because they want content that other people produced with the expectation of getting paid.
People like getting paid for their work. I suspect you do, too, but you think that people who do creative work don’t deserve to be paid because you are the consumer.

As Valve's Gabe Newell once said: piracy is a service problem. As such, if the paid for version provides a good service, people will use that instead. Lots of stuff getting pirated doesn't even get consumed, and people don't have unlimited money. Not as if people would've suddenly bought everything they pirated. That is a pipe dream.

I'm looking for free, modern feature-length sci-fi movies and novels produced by passionate people who don't want to get paid. Where do I find them?
