Vimeo shut down my account

I use YouTube. And they have flagged some, not others. I have won all the challenges where I was using licensed music. A few that had background or incidental music were also flagged. They can't be monetized and may have ads. Fair Use doctrine is that if the video is transformative, not about the music itself it is (arguably) okay but I usually will strip this out as well. An exception is a fireworks display that was playing a track of various musical artists in the background but I couldn't strip the audio without also losing the explosive percussions, so I considered that fair use to be transformative.
