Hey there!
Thanks for reading. I would like to get your guys' opinion on a problem I have with the infamous WA Production. I decided to buy some construction kits. (just for inspiriation im not that kinda guy that puts it out as his own.) but later found out that there were stolen songs in it. After reaching out to them via e-mail and phone. I didn't get a response. Also paypal said they couldn't help me because they don't go about copyright.
I would like my money back and see what there is possible against these weird type of companies? Also I understand that I could've heard the demo's before but I didn't knew the songs were stolen back then.
Here is the mail I sent them:
Dear WA Production,
After already buying 3 Sample packs I was satisfied with your products! However yesterday when I was producing with my friend we came acros a construction kit from the Progressive House Festival Kits pack. It is construction kit 8 Pure 128 BPM E https://waproduction-samples.com/construction-kits/what-about-progressive-house-festival-kits-213 Edit for reddit: Its at 0:38 in the demo
He noticed that the track is with no doubt a remake/ Interpolation of KSHMR - Jammu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggZLU5C8JsA
This really surprised us because this is far beyond the "inspiration" like stated on the website.
After doing some more research we found out that in the following "EDM Anthems" pack: https://waproduction-samples.com/construction-kits/edm-anthems-335
Are also two direct carbon copies of: KSHMR, Dzeko & Torres - Imaginate ( Spinnin' Records) And Jay Hardway - Stardust (Spinnin' Records) Which can be heard from 0:00 and 1:30 in the sample pack preview.

However I didn't buy this pack the issue with this is that it shows that the sample packs which are being sold as 100 % royalty free are clearly remakes of other songs.
Which makes me wonder if my other bought packs also contain remakes?
My question is are these direct interpolations/Remakes of these famous songs are officialy licensed with Spinnin Records and/or there official artists? And if yes is it okay if I contact them about it to confirm it?
