Why does family sharing prevent one ID from having multiple families, it's not that uncommon for one person to have multiple families they're involved in.

Question

I was very disturbed to discover that Apple's family sharing only has the capacity for one family per ID. People nowadays are part of multiple families; whether through marriage or divorce, and those families don't necessarily want all their purchases shared with the other people. Why can't they just allow people to have multiple families, I understand there might be some complications with payment methods, but you could just let them choose which organizer they want to ask permission from, just like they would in a real family.

Answer 1

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.
