O’Reilly Pwn3z “Web 2.0”

O’Reilly Media, the open-source, creative commons darling company, has threatened to sue a small Irish company into smithereens for daring to use the words “Web 2.0” without permission.

“CMP has a pending application for registration of Web 2.0 as a service mark, for arranging and conducting live events, namely trade shows, expositions, business conferences and educational conferences in various fields of computers and information technology.”
