If there's an implication that you're paying for content that is not otherwise available free then there's a hint of a swindle going on there. As with the Sony classics. As far as I understand Sony were putting a value on stuff that is freely available. I think the intention may be to have people believe they are paying for the content, rather than paying for the packaging and delivery.

I can see both sides. Calling it a swindle is a little strong though.
