This just happened to me at the very end of December when my computer crashed. I did not back up either. Technically, you do not own the songs any longer. They are not in an "iTunes account" or anything like that. You get one download and that's it. They will tell you that it is up to you to hold on to it, much like if you buy a CD and lose it.
I went to the iTunes website and emailed them directly. I pretty much begged for them to let me re-download the songs that I had purchased. They relented and let me, putting them back into my purchased songs queue. They did tell me that this was a one-time exception. They told me to back them up next time.
So that's an option for purchased songs: beg. If you included songs from your own CD collection, you will have to re-upload them onto your computer.
