My arguments are based on ownership - you didn't create the (game, book, journal entries, code, artistic item, music, whatever), but somehow because you've decided to take advantage of content creators by belittling their ownership to declare theft a victimless crime.
Also, people are convinced by arguments they have an emotional connection to - not postulates. You're always instructing the reader how to feel - if the reader can't see what you're doing, and still consider your argument, they're uneducated. That's no sleight against them - as it is massively effective, and it is not permanent. Look at the last US election.
If you're going to reply to a comment, reply to the words written. My comment doesn't describe anything as victimless crimes.
I have a rough understanding of human persuasion and decision making. Persuasion is not my goal. I am trying to engage with other people, read their knowledge and opinions, compare those to what I understand about reality, express my understanding, and when there are inconsistencies, attempt resolving them with some combination of verification of facts and revealing of core principles. Often times, this leads to me realize I had an incorrect thought about something, so I update my understanding of the world accordingly.
