Yeah, I'd definitely send some unused external hard drive only containing the "stolen" data.
And I also find this overkill and ridiculous, I wouldn't think anybody would ever do that in 2014. But then you have majors suing people who uploaded 1 song for million bucks, so, don't be a hero and call your lawyer!

Be sure to enable full-drive encryption first. They just asked for a hard drive they could copy and erase; they didn't say jack about it being in a readable format.
