Well, they pay artists 0.03¢ every 1000 play or something...

I guess I don't really know exactly how their model works, but I'm guessing that is only for independent artists. I bet they paid big bucks to the major record labels.

To record label yes, to artists, no

Yes and thats my point. The $10 a month is likely not sustainable because of their contracts with record labels.
