But what if you still have file, but lose the signature?

In this construct the key is the thing, that signifies the owner. If it's lost, there is no help. Unless the key is tied to you and an authority can vouch for you.

Well if the record label was still around they could make ownership details public, or let you download the signed file again.

How would they know the copy legally belongs to you if you lose the key? Would they require some form of ID on top of that?
