Handy definitions:

1. What is extortion?

Extortion is committed when a person forces another person to do something against his will (usually give up money) by threat of death or bodily injury, extreme financial hardship or damage to the person's reputation. Extortion is a class 4 felony.

2. What is racketeering?

Racketeering is criminal activity in furtherance of an enterprise, even if the enterprise has lawful purposes.

2. What is RICO?

RICO -- the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act -- is a federal statute originally enacted in 1970 to control organized crime (such as the Mafia). In the early 1990s, however, this law was expanded to target non-traditional organized crime groups. The statute makes it unlawful to conduct or conspire to conduct an enterprise whose activities affect interstate commerce by committing or agreeing to commit a pattern of racketeering activity.

Sounds like SCO is well on its way... Are there any Attorneys General in the audience?
