Based on personal testing, I've found that all previously purchased content remains TTS-enabled, even when re-downloaded. TTS-blocking appears to only affect purchases beginning this week and also includes samples.
The notion of a remote "kill switch" is the kind of fear-mongering you would expect from the likes of Faux News. There is absolutely no evidence supporting such a claim. I would look at all future posts from the source of this bogus rumor with a very wary eye.
