There is no double standard, you're just comparing apples to oranges like I said above. There is no comparison between a producer that steals samples from other people's music and tries to conceal them in an effort to pass them as his own and what was done for these edits.
It's just so blatantly obvious that "Love Light" is an edit of Stevie Wonder's "Love Light In Flight" and that "Electric Jones" is an edit of MGMT's "Electric Feel", and that "Wicked" is an edit of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". None of these were conceived as a way of making a quick buck by piggybacking on other people's music, or to claim the original artist's creativity as their own. They were created to incorporate them into their own mixes. The thing is that the response to them was overwhelming and people practically begged them to release them. I know that when I first heard "Electric Jones" in a Lee Foss set I starting to see what I could do to get my hands on it.
