Are there pirated contents that you very like and eventually give money to the creator, and where do you find the creators?

Yup, same. I haven't pirated software in a decade or so. I'm not much of a gamer, and the software I do use is almost all FOSS.

Books, eh. I'll buy an epub or PDF that I can download. I'm not "buying" something that can disappear from my library after license agreements change between corpos. I don't want paper, too heavy and voluminous.
