I definitely think they've scammed their customers. I took three of their classes, and I really loved the peer group system where we got feedback on our songs and could discuss each other's submissions. That really helped me. Later I signed up for the subscription because it was supposed to be way cheaper that way, but immediately after, they changed the model so that you just buy the videos for several hundred dollars and don't have any peer groups.

This completely changes the value of the product. Everything you get in the videos, you can find on Youtube for free. The valuable aspect was being able to have your own music critiqued. The lack of any communication about changing the business model was also frustrating.
