You're changing the subject. You were comparing the coercion by direct deadly force to coercion by needing a job to eat.
I'm sure the people who run such a studio are not God's best children, but if they're not threatening physical violence, it's not comparable to threatening physical violence, not matter how much you'd like them to invest in schools instead.

The fact that the advantage they are taking is primarily economic in nature does little to change the ethical matters. They act as intermediaries to people who gain advantages that are not only economic.
