You purchased a specific release, a specific master, from a specific
distribution label, on specific media. A newer release is re-mastered,
relabeled and re-re'd, therefore not the "same song". So if you do download
Dark Side of the Moon, make sure it's a copy from the same, hopefully higher
quality, 8track tape or label master, because that is the version you are
licensed to own a copy of.

And keep your receipts.
