You need to read the "earlier coverage" link for this to make sense. For starters, "Tom Evans" is the manufacturing company, not necessarily just a random dude. But I guess Mend it Mark embarrassed the hell out of this company, so they're lashing out in the finest corporate-approved tradition for YouTube.

I watched the original video (big fan of Mark), and it was a perfectly ordinary repair video, albeit for a ridiculously overpriced piece of audiophile equipment. There was absolutely nothing in there I remember that could infringe copyright, unless simply opening up and taking a video of the inside of a piece of equipment can now infringe. He didn't even disparage the preamp. Unlike much audiophile nonsense, he noted it was genuinely properly designed electronics (albeit very very expensive).

Apparently Tom Evans is a dude at the company though. Their website looks as well put together as the amp in the video: http://www.audiodesign.co.uk/index.html
