I wouldn't call this move to charge for records "extortion". He's not forcing you to do anything.
The $5/set could be called a "handling fee" or a "service charge". Whatever he wants to call it, it's not called extortion.
what it really should be called is "bad business".
Webmasters who have his content, or any other content producer, are faced with dealing with 2257 compliance.
Most content producers already hand out blackened driver's licenses anyways, so for many, this is not a big deal.
What's in question is whether blackened out drivers license is considered a tampered document or not.
