On a site like YouTube.com you can find videos on practically anything from old Menudo music videos to yesterday's episode of "Law & Order." The problem with all this is it may violate copyright law. At CES, [Sling Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-tv-1) announced their entry into the [viral video world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatify-20) with their "[clip and sling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipanything-ai)" feature available to Slingbox users. Sling Media seeks to provide a service where content can be shared and owners of that content will still make a profit. The feature allows viewers to save clips onto a "branded" page where the video can be seen by friends. Take a look at Kyle Monson's story, "Sling Media Announces New Viral Video Solution," to find out how it works. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Legal P2P Video Sharing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a platform that enables legal sharing of copyrighted content, allowing owners to still profit. - **Viral Video Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative strategies and tools for businesses to effectively utilize viral videos as a marketing tool. - **Branded Video Platforms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Building platforms that allow users to create their own branded pages to showcase and share their favorite video content. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionizing the way people consume and share entertainment content through legal P2P video sharing platforms. - **Digital Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transforming the advertising landscape by leveraging viral video marketing strategies to reach a wider audience. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefining social media platforms by incorporating branded video pages as a new way to connect and share content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Serverless File Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filefling.md) - [Viral Video Databases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viral-ideas.md) - [Monetizable Video Hosting Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squarespace-video-playback.md) - [Ad-Supported FAST Channels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-tv-1.md) - [Automated Video Repurposing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapcutai.md) - [Elevated Video Content Monetization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-content-monetization.md) - [Content Reuse Optimizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipboost.md) - [Video Repurposing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-to-social.md) - [Virtual Watch Parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/together-watch.md)
