We'll Always Have 'Paris By Night'

At least on DVD. But thanks to all the pirated discs, the iconic, over-the-top Vietnamese-language variety show might be facing its final curtain

“Paris By Night still wants to continue to be in business,” Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen says. “It’s not as if we’re closing because we’ve lost a love of it. We still want to do it. It’s just that, now, it’s up to the people.”

PBN DVDs will be copied and sold because most of PBN acts cannot be copyright. They are copies

Piracy is a sign of market opportunity. If so many pirated DVDs are available in Australia, maybe the price should be lower or include new material, or they should have a distributor who has a stronger sales and marketing team. This is a business development problem, and there is no reason to just give in because of piracy. Offer something that is better than free. http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/01/better_than_fre.php Charge more for live shows. Removing clips from YouTube just keeps these artists in further obscurity. You could become an official YouTube partner and have buy links on all of these videos and monetize them with ads.

Have you actually seen the DVDs? 1. 70% of the show is lipped synced. 2. Their poor attempt at Hip Hop in some of the acts 3. Corny jokes 4. Same thing over and over...their production is cheap copy of Korean and HK singing acts. Also, I don't know how they will survive with the new generation of American Born Vietnamese.
