That is literally the charge/what they are investigating.
Afaik the difference will come down to if he was ever paid for a review (which would be the difference between a regular consumer buying a thing legally & showing what he bought vs him being part of the promo campaigns by the manufacturer … you know, like Google is).
And if there is no newer specific law (the old one ofc doesn’t explain shit since it’s from pre-computer era), it might come down to him receiving free consoles to review, and maybe having a bunch of SD cards full of ROMs in his apartment.

He can be arrested for anything. If you want to argue that, you’ll have to take it up with the author.

No, copyright infringement is a criminal offence in this case - there won’t be any Nintendo/Sony lawyers in any part of the investigation or trial.
