[2008.05.08] 有雜誌日前推出棒棒堂的專輯卡，卻有討論區揭發該雜誌侵犯肖像權，惹起爭議，負責監管棒棒堂的Channel﹝V﹞總監張世明留言指出，該雜誌在未經同意下發售商品，呼籲歌迷罷買。
有雜誌本月初推出棒棒堂專輯卡，包括80款白卡、30款閃卡、16款夜光卡及16款幻燈卡，每包售價10元，要儲齊一套最少花費320元。商品甫推出，立即吸引不少「棒迷」訂購，甚至有台灣或外地歌迷要託港迷代購。
不過，張世明（Andy）早於商品推出前在討論區留言，呼籲歌迷不要買專輯卡：「別亂花錢也別亂買，這些都未經我們授權同意的，請大家別再亂花錢購買。」此言一出，頓時令討論區議論紛紛，更有棒迷力斥該雜誌欺詐。
拍照宣傳冇收錢
Andy接受本報電話訪問時說：「基本上我們跟對方的合作很愉快，一直以來幫他們拍照宣傳都沒有收錢的，如果專輯卡是跟雜誌一起出版就沒有問題，但現在他們另外推出商品賺錢，又未經我們同意，我覺得這樣有一點點不好。」他又重申與雜誌關係良好，不希望採取法律行動，但會透過公關向對方了解事件。
不排除法律追究
棒棒堂的唱片公司EMI香港區發言人王小姐說：「雜誌之前冇通知會推出專輯卡，依家會同台灣經理人方面商議，會搵埋律師去傾呢個問題。（涉及法律行動？）有可能，因為影相本身係為宣傳，而唔係畀佢_出商品用。」而雜誌方面則表示老闆不在香港，故未有作出回應。

A magazine has a set of Lollipop album promotion cards which has not permitted and Channel[V] producer Andy posted in the forum saying this product has not been agreed by us for selling, so please do not purchase it.
Lately a magazine has released a set of Lollipop album promotion cards, there's a set of 4 with a collection of 80, 30, 16, 16 different cards to collect. Each packet cost $10, to collect the whole set it would cost $320. Once the item was being released a lot of Lollipop fans has put a order and even some oversea fans wanted it too asking fans from Hong Kong to purchase it for them.
But Andy already left a message telling fans to not purchase these items because they have not agreed with it. Once message was out a lot of fans discussed saying how they were cheated by the magazine.
While interviewing Andy, he said "Actually we've been cooperating happily with each other, all this time the promotion photos we've taken is all free. If the cards and magazine were together and not sold separately then there won't be a problem with it. Our company aren't happy about it as it was not permitted.
Lollipop's recording company EMI Hong Kong representative Miss Wong said "The magazine company has not agreed with us before selling those cards, right now we are discussing this issue with Taiwan manager to talk about the legal issues. (Will you take legal action?) Maybe because these photos are taken for free but they are selling it to earn money."
For the magazine side it is said that the owner is not at Hong Kong at the moment so there was no response.

I've seen Andy ge's message about this in the forum. Although they didn't mention what magazine it was but I know it's the Hong Kong magazine "YES".
And I do have some photos of the cards they were selling (but it's all Wang Zi), they were really nice photos but too bad once this news is out I don't think they can ever sell them.
