As long as the content you're seeding your site with is valuable to your users go ahead and get whatever you can. We got a ton of great content for a gardening application from usda.gov and are able to manipulate it in ways that makes it useful to our users.

I'm not sure how useful this is.

But it would give users some idea as to what the site would look like with more contributions from users.
