17th October 2019
I have recently created an account on "vimeo.com" and uploaded my first video to get to know how the site works and what there is to offer compared to YouTube. I was updating my profile page when I was suddenly logged out. When login back in I get the message: "It looks like your account has been disabled due to a violation..." / "... it may be in violation of our Acceptable User Policy.".
I am not clear why and what violation happened and if it's possible to regain access.
However, to guess, I assume this may be caused by the video I uploaded (5.1 Copyright Policy) at "vimeo.com/367054506" which does not infringe any copyright laws.
The video uploaded is my recording of a Public Domain piece of Music by Frédéric Chopin a 19th century (1810-1849) composer who's works are no longer under any copyright protection anywhere. All the content of this video and music is my own original content (audio & visual).

I believe that this a false-positive of DRM flagging the content and myself a newly signed up user.
