The reason nobody's just giving it to them isn't because the amount of data's too much of a hassle, it's because nobody can figure out who has the keys to the now-defunct storage company, and Iron Mountain quite reasonably won't hand out their customer's data to a third party without a court order.

Yes, I agree completely. It just heightens the pathos of the story that it is over what is now such a small amount of data.
