The cease and desist is over the name, or more specifically using the name of the cheese when you aren't making it in the correct part of the world.
This is a guy on YouTube describing how to make that cheese, the only thing he can say he's making is that cheese. This kind of region-of-production-defines-the-allowed-name-of-identical-products idiocy is of course beyond stupid, but lets ignore that for now.
There is no way you could describe making that type of cheese without referring to it by name. The fact that they don't like people making identical cheese to them is inconsequential - it seems like this kind of usage should be trivially covered under fair use. That said he sounds Australian to me, and I have no idea how trademarks and fair use work in AU.

I have every reason to believe that countries protecting the name of their products has only helped local producers from becoming beaten out the market or losing their culture with virtually no cost to anyone outside of those markets, since you can still make the actual product with a different name.

#4>your video seems to describe how to create counterfeited replicas of Grana Padano.
I think that's a valid take. If someone made a video "How to make your own Rolex style watch" that are from 3d printed parts and works and looks like a Rolex then I guess they would also get a same c&d letter.
Also I'm 100% behind protecting this restricted foods [0]. At least it's something against globalization (the guy is from Australia for example)

#5He should make a new video about "Cheese that must not be named". It should definitely be popular among the Harry Potter fans.

They like to do that with alcohol as well, scotch, bourbon, tennessee whiskey, champagne, cognac etc. I guess it's to protect producers. In a way, it's a nice protection against globalization. A microprocessor can be produced anywhere, champagne cannot ;p

Nominative fair use applies to trademarks. You can refer to something by name without infringing

Why? What if you are making replacement parts for you own watch?

#10Some of our laws and it's interpretations are just weird and absurd. They must be revaluated in current age.
