This was a big issue with WiiWare when Nintendo shut down the Wii Shop. People could keep what they had downloaded, but once the Shop shut down, you couldn't redownload anything.

You can still redownload things. Nintendo says at some point they'll turn that off, but they haven't said when yet.

Ah. My mistake. My point still stands: you're at the whims of Nintendo.
