Not sure about that... In general, if you buy a stolen car, it's still stolen, and while you won't be held criminally responsible, you'll still lose your money. I guess it's the same with data licences.

It's not really a license on the data. Data licenses are based on copyright laws, and grant permission under them.
Instead it's a contract with a nondisclosure clause, and contracts only bind the participants.
It's also not a trade secret, with access being sold so openly.
