Who control Miss World Tube Rights in Vietnam?

Mainstream and social media in Vietnam discussed "VTV lost Miss World Final broadcasting rights" these days.
"According to an agreement between RAAS and VTV, RAAS would provide Miss World 2008 shows free of charge to VTV for broadcasting on its VTV3 channel only. All profit earned from advertising during Miss World shows on VTV would be contributed to a charity fund.
RAAS withdrew the broadcasting rights for the final show because some websites in Vietnam stole the signals from VTV’s broadcasting of the Miss World fashion and swimwear programmes to broadcast live on their websites or upload on their sites illegally. These acts, according to RAAS, were serious copyright violations.

However, VietnamITV was not the only one; other websites, namely VTC.com.vn, PDA.vn, Clip.vn, stole signals from VTV and broadcast the Miss World shows live on their websites."

RAAS is a business group founded by a powerful Vietnamese Overseas family with business operation in the US, China and Vietnam. As a partner of Miss World Organization, RAAS holds exclusive broadcasting rights in Vietnam territory.
Of course VTV could not control the redistribution of its video signal across Internet, especially user generated content websites. VTV tried to explain it was out of their control but Vietnamese Internet users (about 20 millions) care? If young Vietnamese want to watch the Event they can find on many video sharing websites whether VTV did broadcasting or not. Are Julia Morley aware of this?
