What is Vimeo

A brief history behind Vimeo's journey to becoming one of the biggest video platforms in the world
Vimeo now and then
Vimeo was founded back in 2004. Since then, it has evolved from solely video hosting to a platform to create, edit, and share videos. With a focus on businesses and creators, Vimeo still attracts more than 150M monthly visitors and hosts more than 300M videos, making it one of the largest video platforms in the world.

UGC platforms are usually crowded with illegal copies of blockbusters, sports, and music videos. Vimeo is not an exception. That’s why WebScan helps to scan it for copies of your videos.

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.
