Look at it from another angle - if you and your hired aircraft weren't available and yet the buyers still wanted to take the flights, what options would they have? Exactly. They would charter an aircraft and pilot from an AOC operator. Which is, in essence, what you have been doing.
Certain areas of the legislation are indeed 'grey'. But what you've been doing is one of the 'black and white' areas.
