Which, if valid, simply exposes the absurd charade that underlies this all -

above 'solution' would mean no company which has a suitable employee earning

under $100,000 who could be put on a contract instead need ever abide by the

license conditions, just put whoever could actually click the encode button on a

contract for their normal duties, including explicitly the mp3 delivery, then do

whatever you want with the resulting mp3s and ignore the rest of the license.
But maybe a closer look at the license would reveal that this does not get you

out of it. Otherwise a lot of money has been wasted on the lawyers who drew up

the almost useless document.
