Ok, it's not illegal as I look at it. But it still feels like shady business. People tend to focus on the checkout button and don't realy see the VIP-announcement because it looks like a kind of advertisment. People are therefore (at least in my opinion) tricked into a subscription. It's not a way of doing business I like.

Wordpress might be the better solution. It is easier to learn and has a larger user community.

Besides that Six Apart (the company behind Movable Type) has been acquired. Although they state that they will be supporting the bloggingplatforms in the future, the new company is aimed at advertising. Is the Movable Type will get the attention it deserves, can be questioned.
