Would you care to give an example?

I just gave one? Theater chains, and retailers like Wal-Mart/Blockbuster use their economic power to pressure film studios not to release NC-17 films since they won't carry them.

And this is a pretty minor example. Any company that pushes other companies out of the field to get a monopoly would clearly be an example of force. A lot of the stuff that Standard Oil and its ilk used to do would surely qualify.
