Legal yes, and not so limited

---Apple's wording in it's license
states that you can make 3 copies per song downloaded
through its store.---

No. What Apple allows is for you to activate and use the
song on 3 computers at a time. You can make as many
copies as you want, and put them wherever you want. But
if you want to listen to the AAC file on a computer, you
have to activate that computer. Activating and de-
activating a computer is pretty trivial to do.

---this means that you can have a master
backup locked away, a copy for the car, and a third copy for
your home entertainment center (or where ever your little
heart desires), of course you can not give copies to
friends.---

You can do a lot more than this. You can put copies on an
unlimited number of iPods. You can burn an unlimited
number of audio cds. And you can give a copy to a friend,
provided that you activate his computer to your account (of
course this would give him access to your credit card info
and let him buy songs through it, so probably something
you don't want to do).
