(but they said it was worth it for the training they got,). What does Noise do with 3 mill$$$? They used to make "youth content" the youth didn'teven like so they stopped bothering, and they use artists work for their own marketing without paying. I don't know who they are but I know (from friends who've worked there) that they are not the kind of people who will do something for nothing. I'm going to miss TheProgram for its sincerity as much as anything else. I hope Mr Rudd does something about this.
