"One system is rational and what most would consider mostly fair. One is crazy and what most would consider a scam."
The term "scam" requires that the person being scammed was not given the facts upfront. This is not a scam by any stretch of the imagination since the company posts the technical details plainly and clearly on their website. You may not like the way the business is structured, but it is certainly no scam.

Is an advertisement for a beer a scam when it promises you women will throw themselves at you if you drink their product? You can play the internet "difference minimization through copious verbiage" game all you like, but I still think there's a qualitative difference.
