‘Periscope co-founder: Piracy standards don’t work for live video’ – ‘Mashable’

Christina Warren says, “Periscope co-founder Kayvon Beykpour was at TechCrunch Disrupt Tuesday, talking about his app, Android and of course, the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.

TechCrunch’s Sarah Lane opened the interview by asking Beykpour about the much-discussed Periscoping of the “fight of the century,” as well as the larger discussion about the platform in the context of piracy.

Beykpour thinks some of the discussion has been overblown. “There was an order of magnitude more articles written about Game of Thrones on Periscope than there were steams,” he said.

Still, Beykpour admitted that the MayPac fight was a slightly different phenomenon“.
