In the article, ‘Vancouver company takes bite out of video piracy’ by Nelson Bennett, Bennett talks about an interesting new way to make money off of viral videos. For example, if you watched a video about a certain charity, you could’ve made a donation without even cracking open your wallet. How? An organization called VISO Give generates revenue for charities by embedding advertising in videos. By simply watching a video made by or for a non-profit organization, a viewer generates revenue, paid by the advertisers.

I think that this is a great idea. For those of the YouTube generation, this was great news. Everyday people who enjoyed making videos could now even make money off of it. By monetizing videos, organizations who had problems with pirating could now take the reins back by producing their own exclusive online videos, and generate revenue from it as well. In a world rapidly becoming dependent on technology, developing businesses like VISO Give is not only a benefit to everyday people, but to the world as well. The opportunities created are endless.
