Are titles I purchase owned by me forever?

Hi Apple,


i use a Firestick and have have your Apple TV app on my iPhone and iPad.


before I even think about subscribing to your TV service, I would like to know if I will forever own any titles that I purchase from you.


I ask because Amazon prime informed me that I do not own the 3 titles I purchased from them due to licence issues which annoys me because companies should not use words like (buy) or (purchase) when they actually mean (long rental) I live in France. Thank you.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Rebecca,

Good question, but since I do not use Apple TV I do not know the answer. I suggest to try the question in the dedicated forum for Apple TV:

Rebecca,

Here is the Legal notice from Apple USA. You can check the Apple website for the similar terms that apply to France.

Hi 👋 thank you.


please could you tell me how customers are able to download the paid for movies then , from your Apple TV + service (we would pay for a movie accessed through your AppleTv + service via the app on our iPad, iPhone, or Firestick) and unless we figure a way of getting the movie out of your official AppleTv+ app , i imagine onto some kind of dongle or CD, your official AppleTv+ Could remove the paid for movie , even if it’s downloaded within the app similar to what happens on Amazon prime video? We can download movies on there but once they are no longer available, even the downloads don’t work.


i appreciate your help with this. Thank you.
