Vimeo pulls Engadget video with no notification

Apparently we jumped from the frying pan (YouTube) into the fire by hosting Engadget video on Vimeo. It was nice for a little while until they pulled our BlackBerry 9000 video down “as a result of a third-party notification by Research In Motion” without so much as emailing to let us know what’s up. (FYI, the video in question is of an unreleased cellphone, but not belonging to or copyrighted by RIM.) Of course, Vimeo was a lot more forthcoming once I emailed to find out why our first upload of the video was killed, and the second immediately dropped into private mode. Guess we’ll be taking our traffic and exposure elsewhere until we get the new version of our own embedded video player finished.
