Extortion means extracting funds by some form of criminal means.
Extortion in the form of, pay or we block access to your business,
is as wrong as "pay or we'll break your legs."

I don't believe what SORBS is doing fits the legal definition of
extortion... no matter how you spell it. :-) There is no threat of
either violence or criminal wrong doing and SORBS is operating a legal
service...

this will probably happen someday. whether that happens or not, I
prefer
to keep far. until some state dept explains that this is legal, I'll
keep very far from this. I won't be a taliban in this ben sorbs
