Wow that blows but I'm sadly not surprised.  IP law sucks and only caters to the rich.  As stupid as it is, it probably is infringement as lot of that tech is probably considered "secret".  It kind of goes with the right to repair stuff.  In some cases it's illegal for you to open or modify a product.  Ex: John Deere stuff.   So this probably falls under that.  When you own this equipment you're just buying a license to use it, you don't actually own the product.  I absolutely hate this crap myself and don't agree with it.

Could maybe win if you fought it and had enough money to throw at a lawyer, but not sure if it's worth it.  That's the big issue with IP law, it only really caters to the rich.  Even if they are legally in the wrong it costs the defendant too much money to win.

Indeed.
Sagon just won a huge legal precedence Youtube case.
TLDR; The US court ruled that even a video with no commentary or other text, just 100% original content sliced together still easily meets the Fair Use guidelines.
This is huge. If such a borderline case is easily Fair Use then practically everything else is as well, let alone content that is 100% your own footage.

No, they cannot, unless you are dumb enough to say something that isn't true. Facts are not defamation.

I don't believe there is any chance they could persue this legally as they would be bound to fail - it's just idle threats.

Yes. Dispute the claim and see what happens. Likely they will be so shocked you actually contested it that they won't know what to do next and the time limit will expire and you'll automatically win.

If they push it, yep, do that.

Seriously, this video needs to be re-uploaded to another site so that everyone can see and understand the context, and perhaps other Youtubers can make videos from it. If the OP can't do that then the fight has already been lost.
