This is not what is explicitly stated at
http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html which specifically
states "PC software applications" and says nothing at all about only
applying to applications in the $200 range.
Someone, either Steve or the webmaster, is not telling the whole truth
here, and until there is a sworn or otherwise accountable statement
one way or the other, the only credible document we have to go on is
their website.
btw, Emmett wrote a beautiful Thank-You letter:
