The accuracy of disseminated information trumps any risk of overstaying a topic's welcome. I see nothing indicating any grudge issues. Back to the issue, as PRJ suggests, citing the source provides another protection which is that the information you get from a particular source may be incorrect. For example, I have found that the Steinway research department and Pierce do no always agree on the dates of manufacture. If you are writing an appraisal it might be wise to cite the source so that you are not held liable for providing incorrect information. Also, since there are multiple sources for this type of information how would you possibly determine a breach of copyright had occurred (even if the information itself was copywrited-which I'm inclined to believe from my legal resources that it is not).
