Pff, drama queen. He might as well follow her footsteps even more closely and appear at his own press conference on Thursday or Friday with that lopsided grin of his again.

Disc of Obscene Photographs of HK artistes sold in the streets, Tuesday February 12, 2008 Hong Kong
~ asianfanatics
Yesterday in Shuiwei (Futian district, Shenzhen city), our reporter observed people selling laser discs containing the obscene photographs of Hong Kong artistes. Previously, people have only read about these photographs in the newspapers. Yesterday, a video store was showing them on television.
A crowd of gawkers were drawn in. According to the salesperson, each disk contains 258 photographs. Priced at HKD 20 apiece, the reporter observed that a stack of 30 discs were quickly sold out in less than an hour. The video store also offered to download the photos onto mobile telephones for HKD 10.
Under Chinese law, it is illegal to manufacture and sell such discs. If found guilty, the offender faces between three to seven years in jail. But it is not a crime to purchase such discs or share them among friends.

Yeah doesn't look like it's gonna die down anytime soon. They're never gonna catch those people because there's SOOOOO many of them selling illegal discs, and they could easily just package it in a different form.
My question is why people are buying it when they could just go online? I guess they're scared of viruses, IP tracking, etc.
Meh. Gotta suck being those ladies right now. Mass distribution
