Vimeo Sued For Audio Infringement

USS_Natas writes "Capitol Records and other labels have sued Vimeo in federal court, charging that the site's emphasis on 'original works' only extends to videos, and that songs are widely used on Vimeo without a license. The plaintiffs hope to prove that Vimeo staffers know about the infringement, since they've been doing it themselves." NewTeeVee has a PDF of the court filing in a Scribd frame.

Re:What's going on Vimeo?

Perhaps you should have watched the original clips in question - Regardless of the 'review' or 'critique' nature, they were made by the game creators - that counts as an advertisement. NO ADVERTISEMENTS. If you don't understand how we intended this site to work, then don't make any assumptions about it. The guy in your video HAS NO CLUE. If you're going to show the game - you'd better be talking about the technical details of the engine behind it, or how such and such function allows this and that to happen. No reviews, no advertisements. What's so hard to understand about that? Vimeo wants EDUCATIONAL AND UNIQUE VIDEOS - NO PLUGS OF ANY SORTS.
