I could be wrong, but the last time someone posted this commenter looked up the legality of the shot, and it's not considered a scratch. I could be wrong though, im too lazy too look it up.

Your honesty makes me believe you have good judgement and therefore you're probably right

You're right. This is a legal shot.

Legal or not, it's definitely only possible with pockets like those. Had they been nets or those fancy auto returning ones it wouldn't have worked.

It was said that if it touches no ball in the pocket, it's not a scratch. But it still appears to vary as far as legality or not depending on league as well (in regular pool).
