There is another term like it that is "damnum absque injuria", which means damage or harm without an injury in the legal sense.

I believe you may be referring to: "DAMNUM ABSQUE INJURIA" which means a loss or damage without injury. Examples from: http://www.lectlaw.com/def/d101.htm One man may cause a damage or loss to another, for which the latter has no remedy. He is then said to have received 'damnum absque injuria.' For example, if a man sets up a business in the neighborhood of another identical business, and by doing so, deprives the latter of its patronage. Another instance might be where a man excavates a foundation with proper care and diligence, but injures an adjoining house due to the unsuitable materials used in constructing that house, the injury is 'damnum absque injuria.' Another: When a man slanders another by publishing the truth about that person then the slandered person is said to have suffered loss without injury.

It is a legal term that refers to an act that causes damage but without infringing any legal rights.
