It is.
I think I'll have to look into the legality of this studio now and I'll report back if you're right, which you very well could be.

I know that if I owned a studio and my customers disappeared because someone was giving away time, I'd definitely do something very effective about that. Don't know what it would be but I know it would start with a conversation or discovery session.
Wow...okay, um. Because something isn't a sustainable business, that doesn't make it illegal. A free grocery store would be a food bank, my friend.
Google has built their entire empire (except search) off of offering free products that compete directly with paid products. Look at open source software.

Corporations give away products all the time as promotions. That's what this is. It's basically a promotional giveaway for Converse.
