No. That’s not why. Click-bait headline.

Yes I read it. Its fucking bleak, jail for buying something with a ROM on it. Pathetic actions.

then shouldn’t the people making/selling those handhelds be prosecuted?

It depends on the laws in the country where they’re produced and who are importing them to the dystopian country of Italy.
Most likely it is legal/greyzone where it was produced and was purchased online or sent per agreement as review/sponsored consoles so it’s easy to argue the YouTuber have imported illegal goods…

Also no? The protection of a multi national company should not be going this far.
