Can you share your research? Because the cease and desist letter they link to clearly says "images and data"...

The "data" they mention are product descriptions. The issuer of the cease and desist appears to be NielsenIQ. And they don't provide price data. Their main product is to provide standardised product images with a white/transparent background, and small product descriptions. Their customers being big E-Commerce stores.
