Ways to prevent someone from extracting value out of their work that are clearly not theft:
- murder
- kidnapping
- ddosing their site so they can't sell things
- carpet bombing their reviews with 1 star
- filing an injunction blocking the sale of their product on bogus ip claims (aka copyright trolling)
- gaslighting them to the point where they think the idea is worthless
- being the owner of IP that prevents them from selling their IP
Probably others but I think that's enough to show your definition is wrong.
