The court held the magistrate's starting points for the second set of offences (Counts 3 and 4) were excessive in light of the amended numbers of infringing copies; it reduced the starting point to 12 months and to 8 months after guilty plea for Counts 3 and 4, left Counts 1 and 2 at 10 months concurrently, and ordered the two 10‑month sentences to be consecutive to the two 8‑month sentences, producing a total term of 18 months imprisonment. The court affirmed that offending while on bail justified consecutive sentences between the two distinct sets of offences.
