I'm sure that maintaining your account is part of the original understanding too. Just for the record, I think that anti-circumvention laws are absurd, and that EULAs aren't worth the RAM they consume. But I also think it's childish to buy a DRM-protected e-book from a company, terminate your account with that company, and then expect them to let you download another copy of the e-book for free.

The issue wasn't account termination - the account was still live, just without a valid CC on file. Which does not equal termination.
