The court ruled in favor of Vimeo by stating that the labels could not prove that Vimeo staffers knew about the unauthorized videos, adhering to DMCA protections.
Vimeo relies on the DMCA, which provides internet services with protection from liability for user-uploaded content unless the platforms have knowledge of infringement.
The jury determined that just because Vimeo employees had knowledge of potential unauthorized use did not imply that they knew specific videos were infringing.
This ruling underscores the importance of the DMCA in protecting platforms like Vimeo from liability, emphasizing that legal knowledge does not equate to actual knowledge of specific infringements.
