How do I transfer purchases to my new account?

I received my first iPod sometime in 7th grade and purchased many songs for it then. However, since I was a minor I had to use my parent's account to purchase those songs. Those purchases were using my own iTunes giftcards. Now that I am over 18, I created my own Apple ID, but the songs that I purchased with my parent's account still require authorization. Unfortunately, my parents will change the password now and then without warning which prevents me from listening to the music I purchased under their account until I can get the new password from them. I would like to transfer ownership/authorization for the music I purchased using my parent's account to my own personal account. Is this possible in any way?
I know about the normal policy. Purchases cannot be transferred to another account. However, I know that exceptions can always be made and I feel that my case warrants one. The purchases made on my parent's account was using my own funds. Thus, they belong to me. I am not stealing somebody else's music since the only songs I wish to transfer are the ones I purchased with my own money. Is it possible to contact an Apple Support manager and get this issue resolved?
If not, Apple should consider allowing minors to create accounts under the jurisdiction of their parent's account until the minors turn 18. That way, minors will still be able to purchase iTunes content and retain it when they become legal adults. If Apple will not fix the current issue, then they need to at least ensure that future users will not have a similar issue.

I also have one more thing to add. My parents now have iPods, iPhones, and Mac computers of their own. Thus, they have maxed out the five authorized computer limit which means I cannot authorize my computer for the purchases I made on their account.

  • How do I transfer purchases from my new iPad to my 3rd generation iPod touch?

    I bought a couple albums on my new iPad. I went to transfer the purchases onto my 3rd generation iPod touch but, even signed into my iTunes account, it seems to have no idea there were any purchases. It will, however, show obviously purchased items on my iPod but that's it. I have easily transferred items from my iPod touch to my iPad and the iTunes on my PC but cannot get it to go from my iPad to the iPod. I'm thinking I might need to update iTunes on my iPod but I'm not sure how to do that, if that's even the issue. 

    You can redownload iTunes purchases directly to an iDevice by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    With iTunes 10.3 or later and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.
    Otherwise you will have to do it via iTunes:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    then sync with iTunes.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.
