Oh no, it sounds like "cryptolocking" has the potential to be yet another term subsumed into meaning the wrong thing, much like "hacker", "drone", and "bot" have been.
This pattern and cryptolocking both have the common trait that you have to pay to get past a specific point, so I get why this happens: they're indistinguishable from a "typical end user" point of view.
Really, I think "Paywall" is maybe closer to the proper term to use here.
