elliair Posted March 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've never seen a Barry Manilow concert on MUTS, nor would I even consider sitting through one. Evidently, Princess Cruises was using his Las Vegas concerts without permission and is now suing Princess. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/princess-cruises-faces-lawsuit-barry-876787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted March 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2016 "The legendary artist is currently on his final concert tour and these unauthorized lido deck rebroadcasts are hurting his ticket sales" I wonder if his ticket sales are "hurt" because people are taking a cruise to see his concert instead of schlepping to Las Vegas OR if it is because once you've seen the concert you don't want to see Manilow in person??:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted March 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thank goodness. It's long time that they dump that video for something decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzsnooze Posted March 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Maybe Princess should have gotten authorization first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted March 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I know being able to watch Barry Manilow in concert is the only reason I take a Princess cruise, instead of going to Lost Wages (Las Vegas). Actually I've never seen his show on Princess, nor have I ever been to Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted March 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The article made it seem more like the broker who sold the music to Princess should be in trouble, not Princess. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiahFly Posted March 19, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I didn't know he was still alive.. :( I totally laughed out loud at that! If anything, I think Princess is doing him a favor; helping reach a wider, more captive audience! He should be paying them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you like Barry Manilow or not. You certainly wouldn't take a cruise in lieu of going to see him. I think Swank will have more culpability here. Princess paid them for the rights. If Swank didn't have the rights to sell they seem more guilty. And Princess showed the film in International Waters. On that note, no loss to me for it to be pulled from the line up.

Actually I've never seen his show on Princess, nor have I ever been to Vegas. Must be an old concert......Barry hasn't been in Vegas for a few years... You'd think he'd want the publicity? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
