Has anyone ever submitted an appeal, preferably a successful one, to Vimeo now that it's doing copyright matching for music? My Festivids assignment just got flagged and will be deleted unless I can argue fair use.

I can put something together with time, probably including links to the OTW advocacy page, but if you know of an existing template, or have a recommendation of someone to ask, that would be extremely helpful.

:( All of my vids are on Vimeo. I'd hate for this to break everything.

I've used the boilerplate linked from OTW's page successfully with YouTube in the past. It hasn't come up with Vimeo, though.

I cannot seem to find this boilerplate - do you happen to have a link handy? Sorry, it is that kind of week. Brain cannot.

If not, don't worry about it, I'll hunt some more.

Sorry I couldn't get back to you! Work was crazy.

Eek, good luck! I've disputed YouTube blocks successfully a few times, and then one time unsuccessfully, whereupon I deleted my YouTube account in a huff. I'm not pleased to hear Vimeo has started scanning for music; this would be an awkward time to have to look for alternatives.
