Vimeo has now added a nice feature under your settings that allows you to set up 6 different levels of copyright for your videos. http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/
All of my videos (past and future) will now be set with Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives
cc by-nc-nd[/i]This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, allowing redistribution. This license is often called the “free advertising” license because it allows others to download your works and share them with others as long as they mention you and link back to you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.
If you enjoy re-editing other peoples work, i now encourage everyone to look on the right side of the screen on the vimeo pages and see what kind of copyright the original editor has set on his videos. nearly every other license on vimeo allows you to remix footage (with some rules), so there will be plenty out there.I hope this clears things up a little bit.
 
not only the internet, I saw "Refresh" on the streets of NYC a week before it was released for 5 bucks
 
i understand what you are saying, and i agree that the reason why they started doing this is more for the 'stock' videographer, but at the same time, this at least can give people a bit more rights when it comes to trying to cease and desist works that have been taken and abused.
 
you cant stop it, people are still going to find ways to capture it and re edit it. yes, some credit is certainly due, but whats the need in completely smashing the hammer down on it? wicked, one of the best ski movies out there definitely used stock footage and im pretty sure noone thought the shot of the guy in straight jacket was goign to be used in a ski flick a couple years later. noone can stop it. best way to workaround it? throw a watermark on your footy on a bottom corner or something, that way whenever anyone snakes it youll at least have that stamp on it.
 
That's insane that skiing would be so mainstream to be sold on NYC streets, although I can also see how it would be much easier to get your hands on a copy of a ski movie, rather than a Hollywood movie.
