Consider this scenario:
I download an app from the App Store, use it for a bit and then uninstall it.

Question:
What happens to that app if Apple removes it from the App Store for some reason? Is the copy that I downloaded copied to my iTunes account and made available to me at any time regardless of whether or not it's available to the general public? Can I reinstall that app from the same iTunes account at any time in the future?

What about TV shows and movies? Does Apple maintain the licenses forever? Or would they reimburse me the cost of the media if the content is removed from iTunes?

I'm just trying to learn more about iTunes content.
