Vimeo responds:

As long as the content is not commercial in intent (actively selling a product) then you are welcome to upload commercials you have made to Vimeo. We just don’t allow companies like Nike to upload commercials that are trying to sell a product.

But if you make a Nike commercial, you can post it. Big contradiction….

I posted this as I want to show off my screencasts:

After reading every post in this thread, I still don’t get it. I see “actively selling” is a no go but reviewing products vimeo.com/1574928 is cool? I know they are not selling the product but there’s an indirect commercial intent there. They review goods and get paid via traffic on their site, sponsorships, etc.

If I develop a new feature on my site and post a screencast, I believe that it will be accepted based on your guidelines I am showing off/selling my skills/site. Although the feature is free, I will probably make some $ via people clicking on my ads.

I post a video of my dog and post it on my dog lovers site, that is commercial.

Looks like as long as I don’t say “Buy this”, I’m good….or am I?

Anyway, I hope to use their service as the interface and quality is slick. Below is a video of my favorite web celebs – Meghan Asha (gee, I wonder why).
