Finding copyright free materials depends on which media you're looking for. The best way is to make the material yourself if it happens to look like copyrighted material you will need to change it "enough" to be legal. You can search for copyleft materials though they are rare compared to materials that have an unknown copyright status. Materials that have a copyright mark on them can sometimes be contested if the image or media is universal and is being used by everyone everywhere. You could say a negative of an image is its complete opposite though sometimes people copyright the negative.
You can take an image and mirror it and then change the colors and place another image over it and it would be so different that it would no longer be the original image. As for audio it is more about the length of the audio and a recognizable voice and instruments or playing styles. You can warp the audio enough that it is kind of funny. Many times you can call the owner of the image and ask for permission to use the media. Discovering archives of work that is by unknown authors or work by this "anonymous" guy you can argue that it is impossible to get permission to use the work cause the author died years ago and did not leave the work to anyone else.
The one thing that is important to note with this is what the license says about derived works. If the source comes from their work then they still maintain rights over how it can be used. Some people still require permission to use their files.
When you copy something it is good for that thing as it will reach more people and promote that things existence. Any political messages can usually be copied safely because the authors want them to be copied. You can also edit things in a way that changes the context significantly enough to create a completely original work even though it looks the same you would never see something like that in a place like this or other such methods.
