omonatheydidAmerican K-pop fans are shocked at this discovery. The popular U.S. clothing store Hot Topic is selling illegal copies of K-pop music on their website. This is not the first time that illegal copies have been found online. Back in October, Koreaboo ran an article concerning fraudulent sales of songs on iTunes. This problem has also been found on America's biggest online retailer, Amazon.
2NE1, Big Bang, SHINee, 2PM, BoA, and among others. From what can be seen, the albums found on the Hot Topic website are very similar to the fraudulent music found on both iTunes and Amazon.
2NE1's "Acapella" album is sold on Hot Topic and the exact same tracklist and album can be found on iTunes. The label is both under the name "2ne1". Big Bang's "Big Bang Big Show 2010" is also found on Hot Topic's website for sale and the same one was listed in our list of fraudulent albums on iTunes article.
SHINee's hit 2010 song "Lucifer" is another single found on Hot Topic. However, it is under the title of "SHINEE TRIBUTE - LUCIFER" and the cover misspells SHINee's name ("SHINLEE TRIBUTE - LUCIFER"). There are also various mixed albums available on the site that include a variety of popular artists' songs. These albums can be found on Amazon as well.
Illegal copies of K-pop music have been increasingly appearing. Have you seen anymore fraudulent copies of K-pop music anywhere else other than Amazon, iTunes, and Hot Topic?
