Another run-in with the O’Reilly trademark police

I like this guy Daya Baran. 

He’s not afraid to speak the truth and point out that O’Reilly is promoting his son-in-law, is working behind the scenes to fuck little guys like him - and in general - acting like O’Reilly.

We’ve seen this before with O’Reilly - with them staking claim to the term ‘Web 2.0′.

This is enough to get me to go to the next Web Guild event.

This is what the blogosphere is all about.  I had never heard about this story (why isn’t TechCrunch, Read/Write, Om or Rafat covering it?  Where’s Kara when we need her?)

Daya outs O’Reilly and points out that the insider’s “old boy’s network“  is working behind the scenes to hurt the Web Guild (by contacting Web Guild speakers and supporters.)  Google apparently has agreed to help O’Reilly in this kind of conduct.

The only way I found out about this - is that I just received a monthly newsletter from Web Guild.

Here’s the story.
