The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate did not err in principle: the $10,000 fine was not excessive in light of the quantity and estimated value of the DVDs, the appellant's role as a seller, and the magistrate's enquiry into means to pay; the sentence and fine are consistent with established authority permitting fines in addition to custody.
