the band simply contracts with a third party, e.g. their friend doris, who charges $1.50 to convert PCM data into MP3 data, up to 1 hour's worth. doris makes $65 a year from this work, and her total annual income is about $50k. problem solved.
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.
