It was a deal made with the composers. The RIAA was actually on the same side of the negotiating table as the internet music services in this case. This agreement does not cover royalties on the sound recording- for on-demand and download services the sound recording copyright must be privately negotiated and is not covered by Section 114. This deal is about Section 115 rotalyties, which define how much the songwriters get paid when a copy of a song is made (referred to in copyright law as a "digital phonorecord delivery").
