No one here mentioned DRM, though that would be a valid subset of videos to delist under this new rule.

I'm sure there's a way the toaster company can interpret your video as a copyright or trademark infringement.

If you could figure out the order of construction of the parts in the toaster that could be considered intellectual property/trade secret.
