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.

There is a lot of misunderstanding in this post. There are two ways to protect 'trade knowledge'. One of them is patent - your idea is legally protected from others using it for profit but you must release full details which are filed at the patent office for anyone interested to read. The other is trade secret, which is protected only by civil agreements (ie. both parties agree to not tell anyone about the thing); it doesn't protect against reverse engineering or other parties that have not agreed to the secrecy sharing information on it that they obtain by legal means (such as tearing down a legally purchased item).
Right to repair is about legislation stopping companies from creating technical (cryptographic locks) or policy (refusing to sell replacement parts, especially when cryptographic locks exist) roadblocks, it's not about making things legal that previously weren't. It is never 'illegal' to open a product you own or modify it, but it may be made difficult with strong encryption, etc. - this is no different than using security screws as far as legality is concerned - it doesn't change what it is legal for you to do, it just makes it more challenging. The one caveat here is the DMCA in the US may apply to some cryptographic protections if they can successfully argue that it is a 'copy protection mechanism', which is a huge stretch for a tractor DRMing parts. Lexmark lost a case they brought on similar grounds. But in general, if you own a thing legally, you can do whatever you want with it other than copy and distribute it (if it is a work protected by copyright).

The corporations don't care though. They will just use whatever law they feel fits and then use that as a reason for the take down or worse, a lawsuit. There's lot of complexity in IP law and what is considered infringement and what is not and you need top notch lawyers to sort it all out, so it's easy for companies to make a claim even if perhaps it's not a valid claim. The worse is the fact that these laws are very over reaching. If you live in another country you still need to follow the US IP laws and they can still sue you or take down your stuff.
As a side note I recently setup my channel to auto mirror to LBRY, might be worth looking into as well. At the very least you could make a video that is a very short blurb then link to the full one. (Bet Youtube won't like this though and still take it down, but worth a shot)

I have every single master copy of my videos since #1, and even the original raw files.
When you download from Youtube it's not the same quality you uploaded it in.

Can I ask a silly question? Why wouldn't you? Who spends hours on crafting a 30min video and then dumps the originals after uploading it?
