You missed the entire part about context. Threatening with legal action does not make a victim, while threatening with something illegal like blackmail does.
In your example you aren't asking for money not to hurt them, like with blackmail. You are asking for money to give up your legal right to do something. Intent also counts in law.

- trabant00 3y ago> You have a legal right to reveal embarrassing information about someone Yes, but you don't have the right to threaten to do it for extortion. Again, context matters. If you still don't get it I give up.
