Speaking of Vimeo, I've discovered some strange activity on my analytics section. About once or twice a month I see 52 different regions making impressions on about 14 films. On my last count there were 469 impressions on one day very close together. One would think I need more security settings. Having read your post I see it's not that easy to do and still have accessible films.
