No. Bootlegs are illegal in Hong Kong. But you can still find boots in certain malls around the Hong Kong area. It's hilarious when Customs do a surprise crackdown and the store owners pull down the gates and turn off the lights with the customers STILL INSIDE. They tell everyone to shut up for a good 5-10 minutes and when they are given the OK by the security guard, they then open back up for business.
Another funny incident I recall was customs cracking down porn on the 3rd floor of the mall, and they were carrying boxes full of DVDs back to their vans. They had customs tape all over the place and stuff. But the anime stores on the 2nd floor still opened for business.
