I looked through the order (it is 153 pages long) real quick and this is what I figure . . .

Evidently, the three web providers applied for licenses from ASCAP but could never figure out what rate they should pay out at. ASCAP applied to the Court for determination of fair rates for the licenses. Each of the providers enterred into "interim" rate agreements, pending a determination on the applications to the Court. Now that the Court has come up with its formula, each of the providers has to calculate what should have been paid, subtract what they actually paid, then cough up the difference.
