Totally agree that gpl software needs to have the right to share. However I do think redhat has the right to decide who they would like to continue to sell to. If you haven't bought the newest version of their code I don't see why people think they should automatically get the right to always get the updates other than what they payed for as a customer.
Suing for exercising your rights on the other hand is insane and imho a clear gpl voilation which should not be tolerated
