We aren't lacking ideas neither content, quite the contrary. And they aren't created out of nothing but that's a whole other discussion I am glad to have in another thread.

The sort of complex ideas to create a movie script or a song are lacking, especially good ones. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it isn't scarce.
Any moron could make a cup, but cups don't have zero scarcity. And its easier to make a copy than a whole story for a movie.
No we aren't lacking ideas for that. There have never been so much music despite it being much harder to make a living on it.
I have played music many many years, and I can tell you from experience that its not something thats created out of nothing. Thats just not how this works.
So if you want to have a real fundamental discussion about this you need to understand how these things are made and what it means to create them.
