not true, it states that if you are already a RHN "paid" subscriber or have entitlement, you're already elligible, or whatever language you want to put in. besides, who would be dumb enough to pay 60 for CD's when you could get them cheaper or free after the release date. i mean do we really have money to spread all over the place.
clearly intended to cash in on this monopoly sourcing scheme. If they fail to provide enough bandwidth to reasonably satisfy the hyper demand spike they themselves created, Red Hat could face severe legal sanctions.
no monopoly here, red hat is business and they have right to run the business as they see it fit. and there was no mistake in their advertisement, which means false advertisement is out of the door or all those legal loopholes you're thinking of.
