Q: Movie Storage

So I just want to be sure I am reading correctly. If I don't want to store all my movie purchases on my computer, I can delete them and re-download later or even stream from iTunes?

I would not do that.

 

There is no guarantee that they will be available for download.  You should always store them on yur computer and maintain a backup copy of your computer.

    That shouldn't be relied on; it's not available for all movies and in all countries, and can disappear for specific movies if Apple or the copyright holder decides to remove them from the iTunes Store. Put them on an external drive.
