A bounty program is to get 'white hat' hackers to find and report vulnerabilities. The bounty is small, nowhere near what an extortionist could charge to keep the source secret for instance.

By paying nothing for what could have been sold back to them for a huge sum, they may disaffect hackers, who could do them real harm. You become a sucker to volunteer for their 'bounty', and decide to turn to the dark side instead.

I think Prezi are very silly to be splitting hairs about this. They stuck the stick in the hornets' nest, now they are arguing with the hornets.
