Could you explain to me how "if someone wants to use my work, they should pay me for it" could be perceived as racketeering, let alone "textbook?"

There's "if someone wants to use my work, they should pay me for it" and there's "intentionally sabotage the work/service provided in order to extract more profits."

"The work or service provided for free?" If so what's the difference? If you're getting something for free you have no right to complain

But it's not free, just because you aren't paying in money doesn't mean you aren't paying for it in other ways.
