When i went on the site i noticed they had a section of "premier" artists (which were backed by record companies) where license fees were around the 10,000 dollar range you mentioned, and when i picked an independent one it was 500, so i guess it helps producers who want to spend less more than the artists themselves. Although i think this is a good tool for producers, it seems like a luck of the draw for musicians equivalent to getting signed by a record label.
