R v Evans [2017] EWCA Crim 139, [2017] All ER (D) 73 (Mar)
The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant’s appeal against a total sentence of 12 months’ immediate imprisonment for two counts of distributing an article infringing copyright and one count of possessing an article for use in fraud. With the absence of a definitive sentencing guideline for offences involving the unlawful distribution of infringing copyright articles, the court provided a list of nonexhaustive considerations which were likely to be relevant in sentencing for such cases.
