And that's the real point that's misunderstood by most respondents to this article. Because the guy moved, he could no longer re-download his legally purchased movie in the new location (= new movie rights jurisdiction). However, if he should move back to the original location, he should be able to re-download them just fine. Meaning, that while he is in a media-rights jurisdiction different to that of his original purchase, his movie is in limbo. In other words, the ability to download his purchase, comes with a geographic restriction. That point should probably be pointed out to prospective purchasers.
