It's roughly analogous to going to a frat party; when you walk up, you pay $5 and get a cup, not the beer. As such, you are buying the means with which to drink beer which is provided free and is otherwise unable to be consumed. Kinda.
Further, Lornecash, will you be paying taxes on any proceeds? Schedule C is calling.
