Quoth the article:
A 73-year-old bar manager who illegally performed copyrighted tunes by the Beatles and other artists on the harmonica was arrested...

They're going after the manager, who just happens to be the performer as well. The parent's point is valid, however the article doesn't go into enough detail regarding exactly what Toyoda was arrested for. Despite the assumption that Japanese law is similar to US law in the ways the parent has mentioned, the arrest can still be construed as legitimate.
