Vimeo adds Creative Commons licensing

Vimeo is now offering Creative Commons licensing options for its members. Creative Commons licensing helps artists to define the specific usage rights that allow others to use, perform, distribute, and make derivative works from their original works. With an easy selection of one of six free Creative Commons licenses, artists can retain their copyright while choosing to allow others to use their work given proper credit and maintenance of simple conditions specified in the Creative Commons agreement. Now people looking for high quality videos that they can legally share, use, adapt, and remix can find them on Vimeo, where an ever-evolving collection of work is available for use under Creative Commons permissive copyright licenses.
