Rainbow Centre Karachi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rainbow Centre is a building in Karachi that is famous as the hub of video entertainment in Pakistan and the country's video piracy industry. It can be considered as one of the largest hubs of pirated CDs in the world. It is in the area of Saddar.
In 2000, it was estimated that more than half of the 350-400 shops housed in the Rainbow Centre were exclusively engaged in video piracy.[1].
The building is famous for being one of the oldest buildings in Karachi[citation needed] and also for the selling of DVDs, VCDs and VHSs videos. One can find CDs for all consoles and systems at relatively cheap prices (due to piracy).
