What bit of your definition is being broken, Gary? This is working on behalf of others without being financially rewarded. In fact you have to pay for it, which is the opposite of being financially rewarded. People are gaining skills without having an employers financial investment.
I've got no idea what your problem is with this, the site is quite honest about what the deal is. I doubt that anyone is making profits from this. Perhaps you think that it is awful and unfair, but research costs money to run.
I have no problems with charging volunteers, I say charge what the market will bear and spend it on post ex. Better them than squeeze the AHRB some more.
