Charting Rock Band DLC that has been removed from store?

So I had a question, mostly for the higher-ups of the site about charting songs that were official DLC but have been removed from the store for licensing reasons. Are we allowed to chart a song that has been removed from the official DLC store (and thus HMX doesn’t make money off it anymore) for those unable to purchase it when it was up? For example I had discovered a love for Silversun Pickups but only after “Panic Switch” and “Sort Of” were removed from the store, so would one be allowed to chart them again?
I understand the logistics either way but think there could be a case since from my understanding a lot of the reason we don’t chart official DLC is to not step on HMX’s toes with them making money, but I think if the song isn’t available for download ergo HMX isn’t making money off it, it could be open for charting again.
What I’m hoping for is someone like Farrotone or TrojanNemo to weigh in and give some reasoning, just getting a “nope” with no reasoning isn’t what I’m looking for
Whether or not it’s available to purchase anymore, its still official HMX content. Anyone charting delisted songs and putting them out for free is also unfair to people who purchased them.
We simply don’t want anything that has already been done by Harmonix. There are many reasons, and when it comes to pulled content of the reasons is that we don’t want users to wait for content to be pulled to get it as custom content. And there is nothing about this open to discussion, so please don’t try to argue about it because if we only had one rule it would be this one.
Also, your question assumes we would stop you from authoring anything, which is bizarre. You are allowed to author anything of course, no one is telling you what you can and can’t do on your own time (I have authored some RB4 content for myself to also play it in RB3), you just can’t release it here.

Farottone gave you one No.
Here is another No.
No.
(P.S. Do whatever you want on your time time and web space).

Ok, thank you. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was going to try to argue cause I understand you guys put in a lot of effort into this site and your work and can understand the rules of it.
I guess I’ve never thought of just doing it and not posting out of respect I guess so it never even crossed my mind to do it anyway lol, I’ve adhered to the C3 rules so charting an official HMX song just feels dirty to me haha.
Thank you
