A - I'm suprised you even received a response from Beatport not to mention several responses.
B - If I wanted to
really remix a song and had to purchase the stems from Beatport or some other service then I would get the wav files, regardless of price. That's just me. But like I said, it would have to be a song I really always wanted to remix.
C - I think beatport saying they or the label will allow time to re-do the song if you won is an assumption and wouldn't hold them to it. That could be a tedious process depending on all the edits made but otherwise it shouldn't be more then another mixdown session. I tend to use less parts from the original anyways so it really would only be a matter of getting one or two elements to fit into the rest of my mix. By that time I would be excited that I won that this would no longer be tedious or annoying.
D- Beatport does have to make some money and I understand the additional costs with transferring wav over mp3. So if this is their scapegoat then let them have it.
E - I concur - BEP
