 Blackmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many debt collectors have been accused of blackmail, but those pursuing legal debts are generally able to justify their threats of repossession because, even though unpleasant to be victim, this is the legitimate use of lawful civil law remedies.
As the information is substantially true, the act of revealing the information may not be criminal in its own right nor amount to a civil law defamation; the crime is making demands to withhold it.
If the elements of blackmail are not made out and the defendant has acquired a vehicle, a charge under s12 Act 1968 may be preferred, see TWOC.

 Blackmail as a Victimless Crime: Reply to Altman
Blackmail consists of two things, each indisputably legal on their own; yet, when combined in a single act, the result is considered a crime.
In a word, blackmail is a victimless crime, and must be legalized, if justice is to be attained.
First, there is either a threat or an offer.

 E. Belfort Bax: Legal Encouragements to Blackmail (1897)
The side of the question with which the law is concerned, which law-made crimes and the administration of the law renders possible and even directly encourages – this aspect of the question is very slightly touched upon.
To conduct the business of courts of first instance (police courts, etc.) otherwise is simply to play into the hands of the blackmailer and malicious prosecutor, and commit a cruel wrong on the innocent for fear of allowing the guilty to escape.
Headlam well points out, can only be got rid of by the formation of a healthy public opinion, which refuses to see a “hanging matter” in every breach of the conventional sexual ethics (for it is undeniable that the enormous majority of cases of blackmail refer to acts of this nature).

 Harvard University Press: Sexual Blackmail
Sexual blackmail first reached public notice in the late eighteenth century when laws against sodomy were exploited by the unscrupulous to extort money from those they could entrap.
The labeling of certain sexual acts as disreputable, if not actually criminal--abortion, infidelity, prostitution, and homosexuality--armed would-be blackmailers and led to a crescendo of court cases and public scandals in the 1920s and 1930s.
This fascinating view of the impact of regulating sexuality from the late Victorian Age to our own time demonstrates the centrality of blackmail to sexual practices, deviance, and the law.

 screenonline: Hitchcock's Style: Blackmail (1/2)
Critic and historian Charles Barr, in his 1976 article "Blackmail: Silent and Sound", in which he closely compares the two versions, notes that the silent version shows Hitchcock striving to escape a 'theatrical' style in which the action is generally viewed face on, with the camera occupying the position of the 'fourth wall'.
Because of the limitations of sound at this early stage - for example the need to position the microphone where it can pick up all of the actors in the scene but cannot be seen - Hitchcock was obliged to adopt a less experimental approach in the framing of the sound version.
A close comparison of the two reveals the way in which Hitchcock modified his style of shooting and editing for the new medium.

This amounted to an informal tax or extra rent and the farmers, with twisted humour, thought of it as the opposite of the legitimate white money or white mail that they paid.
