Usage Rights: What You Can Do with Your Purchases

THE STUFF YOU BUY at the iTunes Store is yours to keep (unless you rented it). Apple doesn’t charge you a monthly fee, and your digitally protected downloads don’t go poof! after a certain amount of time.

You do have to cope with restrictions on some iTunes purchases, namely anything that’s copy-protected. Copy-protected media include movies, TV shows, music videos, and songs you bought before April 2009, when Apple still copy-protected its music files (it no longer does; see below). For those types of files, you’re bound by the iTunes Store usage agreement:

  • You can play protected songs on up to five different iTunes-equipped Windows PCs or Macs (in any combination)and on as many iPods as you like, and you can burn playlists with protected songs in them to CD up to seven times.
