Appeal allowed in part: fines were excessive given this was the company's first conviction and the tapes were seized in bulk constituting one act of possession; therefore individual fines were reduced and aggregate fine reduced from $161,000 to $91,000; the court must not be influenced by the director's husband's offences; prosecution costs ordered and 50% of fines directed to the informer under statute.
