Zune Fact: Music Will Be Redownloadable November 10, 2006

We just got back from the LA Zune event, and like the NY Event we covered, we found out some interesting extra details. Unlike iTunes, with its draconian non-redownload policy, Microsoft's Zune Marketplace will let you re-download purchased songs up to five times (plus even more if you call up tech support). Apple has been known to let people download their purchased music library again—especially if your name is Wil Wheaton—but for the most part they recommend that you back up your music instead of rely on them to be your data repository.
This may be a small detail, but it's something that's nice to have if your hard drive ever gets corrupted.

well as these songs will be sored on a Windows machine...
Nah i can`t be bothered finishing my troll ;)
im assuming though, this is instead of just authorizing the music files to play on other machines, so in fact, its more of an inconvienience than just an oportunity to back i-tunes.
If it's anything like the old MSN Music Store run by OD2 you can re-download as many times as you want but only transfer the licence for a tune to another PC up to 3 times.
