The convictions were quashed because the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the copyright owners had not consented to the making of the copies; the evidence that Shogakukan had exclusive authority was insufficient and the section 121 affirmation was inadmissible for non-compliance with statutory requirements, and therefore a retrial was refused because the defendants ought to have been acquitted on the evidence before the trial judge.
