Family Sharing
Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes purchases. Whenever a family member buys a new song or album, everyone else can download and enjoy it. Families can share movies and TV shows, too. And for kids under age 13, or any other family members you choose, you can turn on Ask to Buy, which requires parental permission before purchasing.
