Tom Evans Audio copyright strike
In November 2024, YouTube creator Mend It Mark uploaded a video in which he repaired a MasterGroove SR Mk3 pre-amp made by Tom Evans Audio. In the video, he took the pre-amp apart and, to help diagnose the issue, he reverse engineered the device and created some schematic diagrams.[1] He also made his viewers aware of the fact that the price of this pre-amp is £25,000 (about 30,436.40 USD) and that many of the electrical components in the pre-amp had the part numbers scraped off.
After the video was published, Tom Evans Audio issued a copyright strike against the video which resulted in the video being taken down. Mend It Mark was not informed on what the copyright infringement was.[2]
