Can I make a ring tone business legally? I have a great idea.?

I have a fantastic idea for iPhone ring tones, I have years worth of DRM free music I've collected for ages. I can produce amazing ring tones using Sony Audio Forge and publish them on my personal server.

My question, if I make 1,000 HQ iPhone tones and post them on the web, we're talking 30 seconds each; would I get in trouble? I plan on using paypal to request a subscription to a mega library. 30 seconds off a song for a phone, legal? not legal? will apple be pissed? is the RIAA gonna get me? IRS? I dunno what's involved.

But I NEED money. This crap economy is leaving me no choice but to resort to what-if business ideas again.

Thanks for anyone who read.

Update:

Anne is a retarded spammer, every question I answer including my own question she/he has to pop with this spam crap, no one click that link.
