There's already dozens of websites like this.

They're only selling soundsets and samplepacks, which are the cornerstone of all EDM really.

Well apart from soundsets for the select few that bother learning to program synths.

You are right and you should give up making music.

Why stop making music? maybe it's more interesting to start making "contruction kits" and "midi packs"

Sounds to sample exists for (I think) over 2 years now. It's just been under the radar all the time. Now that Beatport is promoting all its platforms actively it might have become a bit more apparent they do more than you might thing. I've bought several packages from there months ago. There's a lot of goodness in there.

I think the point is, that beatport itself is small enough in relative terms to consider this as a good revenue stream.

It's demographic is not mainstream consumers - it's hobbyist and pro DJ's as well as producers. Therefore it stands to reason that Beatport would want to sell samples to this demographic.
