Vimeo Copyright Policy
Vimeo is compliant with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) so the hardest part of content protection is to detect infringements and property notify the platform.
Vimeo’s Privacy Policy states that copyright holders (or their agents) may remove allegedly infringing materials available on the platform.
Vimeo promises to promptly remove materials when properly notified that the materials infringe a third party’s copyright. Vimeo will also, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers.
Based on WebKyte team experience, it takes 1 hour on average for Vimeo to remove the content.
Vimeo copyright protection tools
Vimeo has its own pre-filtering system called Copyright Match. It is based on audio-fingerprinting technology. Audio fingerprints are great when it comes to audio recognition. Though with video content audio fingerprints miss a lot of copies. For example, redubbed copies will pass this filtering even if the video is copyrighted.
