Under the law it is not blackmail if you are seeking the return of your own property from the perpetrator, and don't commit any other crime in the process. The reason blackmail is a crime is because it is usually an attempt to extort money that is not yours from people. If you are not stealing any money or other valuable property or services, then it is not a crime.

SebastianJu! Now that (the real) Master p has been bullied/blackmailed into paying the so-called 'victims' for the crime he did not commit & I have been fully vindicated, don't you think you owe me an apology?
