So is the core of this issue that if I "buy" a movie on iTunes (say Kenneth Braunah's Henry V), and they lose the right to distribute it (as they did within the last year), I can no longer watch the movie?

And Apple is even calling you "unreasonable" for even believing that you could watch it in that situation.

More to the point, how much of a refund do you get if it's withdrawn? If Apple is sharing the licensing risk with you, the goods should come at a pretty steep discount.

If you did not download a copy on your disk, yes you won't be able to download and watch it again.

It is plausible for me to buy Braking Bad today, and for them to loose licence tomorrow. The series is so long it takes multiple days to watch.

What is the legal position in this case?
