What I meant was that the shorts would cover before the record date if given enough time. Setting a record date two or three weeks in the future would cause a squeeze, but the products would still be given away. Only the slowest of the shorters would have to buy the products. Setting the record date as of the day before the announcement - perfectly legal - would screw the naked shorts and discourage them from ever doing that again.

It might still be worth it as advertising and discouraging future shorting even if the company gives all of the product away.
