Is it not immoral to witness a crime and not do anything about it ?
Think about the illegal activity you may be aware/unaware of around you on a daily basis.
Whose right? No, whose moral obligation is it to reveal that information ? Are we talking about blackmail or snitching ?
My point is that blackmail is illegal to protect people who lead a legitimate life (immoral meaning less and less), and are attempting to prevent any harm done to them.
Whether things are immoral or not is a slippery slope.
