The plaintiff's statutory declarations established prima facie ownership of copyright in the Astro Content; the defendant sold and distributed TV boxes pre-installed with an application that enabled users to access that content without consent, which constitutes an 'act of communication to the public' under the CA 1987 (s3 and s13) and therefore an infringing act under s36(1); the defendant's bare denial without evidence failed to rebut the prima facie case.
