Yes, I'm well aware of your descriptions, which is precisely my point. The description of extortion given above would include the first two things.

I think that's not true, due to the presence of the word "unlawfully". An employer or restaurant patron receiving the services that they paid for is not unlawful. However, taking money from your neighbor that he doesn't want to give you is unlawful.

But that part is circular. I want to know if a given act is unlawful.
