If you are using Vimeo then be advised that neither SafeGuard WordPress or SafeGuard Mail can be used because both services require a direct link to the video file. Instead, Vimeo requires the use of their embedded player which will not copy protect anything. To protect your video SafeGuard needs to display the video file in its an embedded player that will be protect it.
But all is not lost as you can still copy protect Vimeo files if your website is not using shared hosting. If your website is on a dedicated or virtual server you can have the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) installed on the server to copy protect all media displayed one or more web sites.

We choose to use Vimeo because we have many large videos and they provide the downloads while our website has limited download allowance. Vimeo videos are also protected from unauthorized linking and we need that protection. I think that my partners will prefer to use a managed service which you call shared hosting because we don't have webmaster skills. Is there no alternative for us?

Yes but it doesn't involve Vimeo. There are many economical file sharing services that will allow direct links to your video file so that you can use SafeGuard WordPress. Services like Amazon S3 and DropBox can be more economical than using Vimeo. Of course the big plus is that with SafeGuard WordPress your videos will be most securely copy protected, and you won't have to change anything about your website.
