    Court
    Court of First Instance

    The appeal was dismissed because the magistrate's interventions were legitimate clarificatory questions, exhibit P12 did not affect the established chain of custody given the customs officer's uncontested evidence of receipt and control, and any defects in two affirmations relating to 274 discs were immaterial to the overall evidence supporting conviction.

    • Possession of infringing copies
    • Chain of custody for exhibits
