There is nothing "privileged" at all about RTSR. Anyone can become a member (as people have said on these boards time and time again); anyone can access a whole variety of materials PROVIDING THEY ABIDE BY THE RULES AND DO NOT "SHARE" IT FOR COMMERCIAL GAIN. That is the RTSR "licence agreement", if you like.

In that respect it is no different than Open Office or any other free source softwear, all of which comes with a licence agreement obliging people to share it for FREE if they are going to share it. Naturally, if anyone was dumb enough to burn Open Office to a CD and try and sell it on eBay they would get the same sort of stick that the sellers of this particular "shareware" are getting on here.
