As no payment in any kind is imparted to the observer then that is legally not being paid
Anyone can try to spin it how they like but the law is clear on this

I agree. If it were a major problem then I would expect the DSA to do something about it. Of course, that doesn't mean that they don't think it's a problem, only that they don't think it worthwhile to make the point. They know it's wrong and have said as much; they just don't seem to want to get involved.
