No, the text specifically refers to "an entity". If you are an

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.
