"A lesson to me?" I don't really care either way whether or not Wikipedia lists Billboard information; the legality of the issue was something that peopel felt should be inquired about (the question has been o nthe table for quite some time), and so it was. It's better to research something than to turn a blind eye to what very well could be an unallowable use of propriatery information.

It is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission, especially when dealing with people who think you need to pay them money to get permission to do things you can do without asking for it in the first place.
Let this be a lesson to you.
