Any video that you make that you post on Vimeo is promoting your skill at making videos, which you will use to make big bucks. So, all-inclusive, it's impossible to upload a video to Vimeo for non-commercial purposes.
I knew a guy who ran a forum. He had a very very tolerant policy about banning people. Basically, anyone who would constantly yell "ban me, I dare you! what are you, chicken?" got the banhammer. So don't go crying if you're the only one argueing in favor of removing all content that hasn't proven beyond any doubt that it isn't infringing, and then your content is the only one that gets removed.
So, to have a site that allows you to upload videos, they should ask for proof that for example, you filmed the video yourself? Which is... what? That you mail them the camera so they can determine if the grooves in the lens match the ones in the video? Satellite photos that place you at the location where the video was taken at the time the footage was taken? Forensic evidence? A letter signed by the Emperor of Earth saying that the video is yours?
Maybe there should be a process in which every camera sold on the planet embed into the video that "this video is not property of Mediaset".
Why stop there? Whenever you go somewhere to print family photos, for example for some event in your house, you have to submit evidence that said pictures are not property of Mediaset.
How do we know that your posts are yours? Maybe you're copying them from some other website in the internet and they are copyrighted. Since we can't tell without visiting every single website, Mike should preemptively remove your posts (since we don't know the original source).
You don't patent tires. You patent the "method for making round thingies with a hole in the middle". Now, if someone would steal your patent and make a tire, well, that's their problem isn't it? They could try making them without holes or make them square.
"Why risk on something new when you can get a reliable cover band to redo the AC/DC catalog?"
Congratulations, you just showed how musicians lack any creativity or any desire to create something new unless they are forced to. Why do we have them again? They should get a real job and get off my lawn.
He's talking about forcing the NCAA to buy every single possible (infinite) permutation of the the word NCAA in a domain name, thereby spending an infinite amount of money.
I thought the joke was obvious, but oh well, I must be a geek.
Well, I assume the accountants are happier when knowing that they have "spend 10 million preventing piracy" than hearing that "piracy may or may not have cost them between 1 and 2 million, with a chance that it actually helped them make money instead". They don't really know how to put that in the books.

Re: Moaning about nothing
That's nice of you, telling the guy how to live his life.
"Stop telling other people what to do."
Please, do keep telling other people that they have to stop telling people that they have to do something.
"just don't link back to them."
Well, to be fair, that is telling people what not to do. Does it count?
"Quit scolding them like children."
Good idea. People should stop scolding others. Bad people, bad! No soup for you!
"It's their choice, work with it."
It's a good thing they got you to tell them to work with it. They should do that, instead of telling others to "work with it" (the internet).
