&gt;&gt;&gt;Copyright: IP owners who lose money, everyone who no longer benefits from new content because making it is economically unsustainable.<p>Setting aside the fact that I do not believe in the concept of IP.  To the extent that the government grants such a privilege, there is a victim,  the &quot;owner&quot; of the intellectual privilege. That person can raise their hand and say &quot;I am a victim of Infringement on my government granted intellectual privilege&quot;<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;Regulation: consumers who buy defective and dangerous products (particularly drugs), people who drink contaminated water and breathe contaminated air, people whose radio electronics won&#x27;t work anymore because some asshole is jamming them, people whose retirement accounts evaporate on irresponsible trades or investment in fraudulent businesses, people who become suddenly homeless on the whims of their landlords, people who get hit by speeding cars, drunk drivers, cars without working brakes, cars that don&#x27;t properly signal their presence and intentions.<p>All of these are victims to some extent, I do not think you understand what the term victim means in this context.  One does not have to be physically harmed to be a victim, you can be a victim of fraud, theft, negligence, these are all victims.<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;War on Drugs: people whose friends and family members become unreliable and&#x2F;or dead because of their addictions.<p>A person using drugs of their own free will can not be classified as a Victim,  it is tragic yes but so is suicided, or countless other things.  Family members are not being &quot;victimized&quot; by that.  Further arresting a Drug abuser has been objectively proven to be about the worst thing you can do for them, and a sure fire way to turn a drug user into an abuser is to ruin their lives with criminal records and penalties.<p>No Families are not &quot;victims&quot; when a family member uses drugs, any more than they are &quot;victims&quot; when a family member makes any other life choice that is poor.<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;Tax fraud: people whose economic and medical situations get worse when government is underfunded<p>Setting aside the fact that I believe taxation to be theft, Taxation produces victims every day, every single taxpayer is a victim of unethical and immoral theft by government...<p>Setting that aside no one is entitled to other peoples money, if a government program is underfunded that does not make a victim.
