Check the policy when you downloaded the PDF years ago. If the contract specifically states you may re-download at any time, then you may do so. If it doesn't, you cannot assume that you possess any rights beyond a single download. The "product" which you bought would be the single download rights to a single copy of the PDF. The company isn't "stealing" anything from you if you didn't specifically own the rights to it in the first place.
By comparison, Steve Jackson Games allows multiple downloads of its products (including a very good number of d20 products among them) but it specifically states this is the case, and it emphasizes that it wants to make customers' lives as simple as possible - especially if you have a hard drive crash or other accident. Many, and possibly most, in the digital download industry, do not extend these rights to their customers. Amazon, for example, only allows you multiple downloads if you use their cloud-based storage drive - if you merely download it to your computer, they will require you to pay again if you lose it to a hard drive crash.
I would prefer to pay 50$ to a lawyer along with other enraged customers than buy them again for 30$.
Greece must have different standards for legal fees than America (and any lawsuit against WotC will almost certainly have to take place in the district or circuit courts of Washington State, where they are located, and to which you very likely agreed when you initially bought the PDF in the first place - check the contract for "choice of venue" clauses). $50 of legal fees in America would buy you maybe 20 minutes of a lawyer's time - whereas contract lawsuits (especially against large companies like Hasbro) can drag on for months if not years.
