In continuation to that:
Reason for this is to save bandwidth for the site.
If the administrators were to allow you to purchase the media file once, and re-download an unlimited number of times after the purchase, then the bandwidth being used would probably sky-rocket.
This would also cause immediate file-sharing of the free temporary links which would break the cause of purchasing the file in the first place.
