The details of the alleged piracy were protected by a publication ban ordered by Judge Graeme Mew, but lifted on Thursday morning.
The rest of the evidence and testimonies from the court on Wednesday and Thursday can not yet be shared.
The Crown announced that it would issue new charges against King: forgery and obstruction of justice.
The allegations of forgery stem from allegations that King made false statements under oath, knowingly and with the intent to deceive. Allegations of obstruction of justice allege that he deliberately attempted to mislead the court in a lawsuit.
The new charges were expected to be announced Thursday afternoon and are in addition to the 10 charges related to King’s involvement in the three-week protest in downtown Ottawa earlier this year.
Previous charges include harassment, intimidation, obstruction of police and breach of court order.
King’s lawyer, David Goodman, appeared in a teleconference during the proceedings on Wednesday when a robotic female voice began speaking from his computer, warning him not to turn off or restart the machine because he had access to his IP address.
Crown adviser Moiz Karimjee later said Goodman’s client records appeared to have been compromised.
On Thursday, Goodman said the issue was not as serious as previously thought and that none of his files had been destroyed, viewed or searched.
It is not clear if the apparent attack has anything to do with King’s case.
After the trial, Goodman did not comment on whether he had informed the police about the incident.
King has been in prison since his arrest on February 18. He was denied bail on February 25.
Goodman had intended to support King’s release at this week’s hearing, but the process was halted.
As the court adjourned on Thursday, King shook his head and entered the detainee’s box double. He will appear in court on Tuesday, when the bail hearing will be rescheduled at a later date.
