iKeywaybeektunes Copies

If anyone would like a copy of the iKeywaybeektunes library, please have a 200 GB (or higher)  external hard drive @ Dad's house in Okemos by 8/12, or so.  The library just outgrew the 160 GB hard drive I usually bring with me.  I have a larger one I'll use this time.  I'm hoping it's as travel-friendly.  Right now it's @ 28,782 tunes, and will likely be over 29,000 by then...  I can connect by firewire 400 or USB 2.  Please specify Mac or FAT32 formatting.  Sorry, no NTFS, although I can re-format NTFS to FAT32, which will work with Mac or PC.  A re-format means erasing everything on the drive, and starting fresh.  (Hint:  I got the 320 GB external hard drive at the cottage on eBay for $30, including shipping.  That's $09.4 per GB.)  Please remember to  include all power supplies and cables with the hard drive.

What I won't do is edit the library for you.  It's too time consuming, and I'd rather it didn't eat up a big chunk of my vacation.  The best way to use it would be as a source for whatever music library you've currently got going, and to stop pissing away money on iTunes.  (See the posts from last year for a description of the music genres included in the library.)  I've never paid for an mp3.

Is it legal?  I'm not the lawyer in the family, so my best guess is: sort of.  It's a cheap way for me to back up my music in case my house burns down or California falls into the Pacific.
