They also sell authentic brand products with different logos on them. LV, Gucci, Prada, GB, you name it.. many of them are manufatured in China, India and Africa. When their manufaturing line ends, the factory keeps going under different names and sell them dirt cheap with different company logo. They would be sued if sold in EU or North America.

look them up on youtube. chinese influencers exposed so many products of them on video in details when Trump started playing his tarrif game with China.

Had been? That means they shut down?

Back in the days you could find full discography of popular bands in mp3 on markets

Has been. The store is still open. Though it's not as popular as it used to be. People have learned how to get pirated content online.

This is weird and a bit ironic. Why not just buy the original content? Blah blah blah not all media is available and that's why you pirate it.

But why pay these people for something you could pirate or buy from the source yourself?
