So YouTube wants the Grayjay app to be removed within 7 days because they claim it violates the YouTube API ToS... pretty silly use of their own lawyers time IMO, considering Grayjay doesn't use the YouTube API at all, and its source code is available for them to validate before sending out false claims like this.

Wonder how YouTube will respond to Louis's refusal

You are right!

Louis also mentioned that they are not a bunch of college students in a dorm, YT will not scare them, he has great backing so as to go to a legal war!

I am interested in following what happens as well!
