I know a personal story of a friend of mine that was able to do it once and <a href="http://thecontent.wordpress.com/2006/05/24/itunes-lets-people-re-download-all-your-music-once/">here's a story from a couple of years back of someone asking about redownloading their music from iTunes</a>. I'll update the post though, since it doesn't seem like it's officially in the iTunes Terms of Service.

Years ago I remember the discussion on one of the Podcasts that in rare cases Apple MIGHT allow someone to download the files again. Usually they recommend that you backup the music files, as you will not be able to download the files from Apple again. “If you have music you bought from iTunes, you could just redownload it if you lost it.”
