Vimeo on Demand III

Even if WDSF is still looking for the perfect video-on-demand partner for the years to come, it has already taken out a PRO subscription with Vimeo, a social-media-streaming platform much along the lines of YouTube.

Holder of a Vimeo PRO account, WDSF is now able to sell some of its work directly to YOU through "Vimeo on Demand."

YOU will be able to enjoy this work online on your computer, on just about any type of mobile device (smartphone, tablet) and even on a connected TV.

However, for YOU to be able to purchase this work, YOU will have to join Vimeo yourself, taking out a BASIC membership at no charge whatsoever. YOU may even join Vimeo with YOUR facebook account. Besides being able to stream your own videos as a Vimeo member, YOU will also be able to buy content through "Vimeo on Demand." The terms of your membership are found here. You join Vimeo right here!

Once you have joined and are are on the page where the work in question is being offered, you will then be able to pay with your Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit card (or with PayPal if you connect your account) for a rental that allows unlimited viewing during 48 hours or - in some cases - an outright purchase that includes the download of the video file.

Here are the terms that govern watching the work.

• Limited License. After paying the fee displayed at the time of your transaction, you have the right to stream the VOD video for your personal viewing during the time period displayed at the time of your transaction. If the licensor makes downloading available, you have the right to download the VOD video during the displayed time period for your own personal viewing.
• Restrictions. You may not: (a) copy or redistribute any VOD video through any means; (b) publicly exhibit any VOD video; or (c) resell views of any VOD video or allow others to log into your Vimeo account for the purpose of watching a VOD video that you have rented.
