Not an actual scenario, just a thought I was wondering about regarding IP as a film major. Also what if the person threatened to post it on the internet, would that then be extortion if the original case is not?

The real owner of a lost item is the real owner. "finders keepers" is only true in kindergarten. Insistence on a bounty for return, or threats to take some action unless payment is made, are unlawful.
