Beijing customs agents on July 2 seized 2,099 discs they said were pirated and en route to the United States and United Kingdom.

Among the discs were 429 allegedly illegal copies of live concerts featuring the late pop music star Michael Jackson.

Jackson's death last month has boosted sales of legitimate audio and video products featuring the pop star, and seem to have boosted sales of pirated products, too.

Meanwhile, more than 10 Chinese publishing houses are planning to launch instant books about Jackson, according to media reports.
