I suspect they did it to drive traffic to their site. The API access is free, so they need people to come to the site to get served ads and such. It is what it is. I looked into Wikipedia, but the API access looks more complicated than I want to get into. If someone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm happy to merge the code in later.
As for the READ MORE in the text, Last.fm does provide that as a URL, but the addon can't make it display as a link. That would be up to the skin (if such a thing is even possible). If there is interest from any skin developers, I can look at adding a couple of new infolabels to AS for the URL and text. Otherwise I'm just going to try and figure out how to filter that text out.
