Crisis on Vimeo
UPDATE: Vimeo is not correcting their mistake, so I will not renew my subscription when it expires in September. Obviously, new work will not be published on Vimeo, this website and my Instagram @glasslabs_art will be the places to visit and follow for my news.

I am currently in conflict with Vimeo (where my videos are hosted), as their automated copyright detection has falsely detected the original soundtrack I created for “Human III” as if it was “Pipes N Sneakers” by Jay Shepheard. I honestly never heard Jay Shepheard’s “Pipes N Sneakers” – after a search online, I am sure my original track doesn’t even sound like it.
I submitted documentation that the track is my own work, but Vimeo denied my appeal, so I have had to mute my original track to keep “Human III” available on Vimeo.
I create everything myself, and accusing me of copyright infringement is an insult. The audio track for “Human III” is created with an instrument in Reason DAW, Reason Studios says: “Sorry to hear about your issues with Vimeo. The end user license agreement states what you cannot do (sell our sounds as samples or as a sound library), or use our musical examples from the software as your own), not what you can do. It’s implicit that you use a DAW and its instruments to create music.”
I have asked Vimeo to forward my complaint to a professional (if they know any?), if they do not correct their mistake, I will have to look for a new provider.
