A product was purchased and they took the responsibility of maintaining a repository for it. I think this is still a point that can be challenged in a court of law. It maybe the responsibility of the publisher to also maintain that copy even if the relationship is now broken between the two parties. As a result of the issues between the seller and the publisher we are the damaged party.
It's been almost 6 months since April 1. So the eBooks had to have been purchased sometime before April 1. We know that Under the Dome was available on 12/24/2009. So It's been over 6 months before the OP tried to download his purchases. So if the purchase was made in December to get the best rebate/discount, that would be at least 3 months to allow for the eBooks to be downloaded. Tack on the additional time and its been about 9 months before the eBooks were downloaded. I think Fictionwise is no longer responsible for the OPs inaction.
