Hold on - I think you're getting confused.
Your $5/mo does not go to the RIAA. It goes to audiorealm. Audiorealm pays a flat fee to teh RIAA for all of its station (some negotiated amount). The $5 goes toward our bandwidth, our website and all the royalties and performance fees.
The size of the playlist doesn't come into play whatsoever.
If we were not with audiorealm, the fee is based on how many listeners listen to each song. Each of those "units" is called a performance. 10 folks listen to a hour that contains ten songs - that's 100 performances.
