Is there equivalent of "open source alternatives" and free forever plan for those other industries?

  Yes, there's an enormous amount of free music out there. Free movies per se are less common, but the world is absolutely full of gratis video content. Some of this is legitimately ad-free (the open source analogy), and 99% of it is ad-free if you install a simple plugin or two. I own a big pile of great free games from Epic, just from clicking a couple buttons every week or so. And yet I still buy games. All of these industries are difficult, but that's just the reality of making stuff and selling it. I've spent quite a lot of time listening to indie game developers whine about how hard it is to make games, but the vast majority of what they complain about is just how any kind of big project works.
