Artists Can Easily Express How Others Can Use and Distribute Their Original Content

NEW YORK, July 13, 2010 - Vimeo(R), an operating business of IAC (Nasdaq: IACI), now offers
Creative Commons licensing options for its members. Creative Commons
licensing helps artists to define the specific usage rights that allow others
to use, perform, distribute, and make derivative works from their original
works. With an easy selection of one of six free Creative Commons licenses,
artists can retain their copyright while choosing to allow others to use
their work given proper credit and maintenance of simple conditions specified
in the Creative Commons agreement.

"Creative Commons licenses have been a highly desired feature by the
Vimeo community. By offering this new feature, we help make it easy for
creators to allow others to use their works while still maintaining their
copyright," said Dae Mellencamp, Vimeo's General Manager. "Supporting video
creators with the tools and services that they need to share their work the
way they choose is one of Vimeo's main goals."

"This is great news for Vimeo users of all kinds," said Eric Steuer,
Creative Commons' Creative Director. "It's now easier than ever for video
creators on Vimeo to share their work on their own terms — they can simply
select a Creative Commons license to offer some rights to the public, while
reserving other rights exclusively. Meanwhile, people looking for high
quality videos that they can legally share, use, adapt, and remix can find
them on Vimeo, where an ever-evolving collection of work is available for use
under Creative Commons' permissive copyright licenses."

Creative Commons offers six primary license agreements, each with its own
set of terms governing, among other things, attribution requirements,
derivative works, and commercial use. Complete details can be found at
Creative Commons' website, www.creativecommons.org.
