And no one is obligated to come to the Theme park. There's an entire world of people who never visit the theme park, mock the people who do, and couldn't care less about it.

Kind of, yeah. Once something is expensive enough it's no longer common theft, it's a heist.

Blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. The "x" makes it sound cool.
