Abstract
Extortion is the demand for money or other valuable consideration, coupled with the threat to do something which both is and should be illegal. For example, Give me $X of your money or I will kidnap your children, or Go to bed with me or I will bum down your house. In very sharp contrast, blackmail is the demand for money or other valuable consideration, coupled with the threat to do something which both is and should be legal. For example, Give me $X of your money or will tell everyone that you take a bath with a rubber duckie or Go to bed with me or I will gossip about your hidden adultery. I will argue that blackmail should be legalized.
