Resultado
Judgment quashed and remanded; the remand led to Appeal 30/1995.
Resumen
General principles of justice and natural law protected the author's or assignee's economic exploitation even before the 1993 decree, but the lower court failed to itemize damage elements.
Antecedentes
In the same underlying case 2/1992/2138/9, a producer/assignee alleged unauthorized videotape copying and sale of two plays before Copyright Decree 10/1993 became effective. Trial awarded BHD 10,000 and appeal 211/1993 affirmed on 1994-03-22.

Cuestión jurídica
Whether protection and damages existed for pre-statute copying, and whether the damages judgment adequately identified loss.
Criterio
General principles of justice and natural law protected the author's or assignee's economic exploitation even before the 1993 decree, but the lower court failed to itemize damage elements.
Fundamento decisivo
Absence of the later statute did not legalize unauthorized exploitation, yet compensation remains a legal determination requiring articulated elements and evidence.
Límites
Historically important but predates the current statute; not authority for expanding the current express natural-person definition to AI.
