Even from the outset, Pied Piper had problems related to IP, with the founder having to beg a local irrigation company for the rights to the company name.

Nice going NYC government PR machine. Two of the recent Ultra Light Startup events--one about PR and the other about legal help--had copycat programs run by the city itself.

Had I known it was going to take the internet by storm I probably would have been a bit more careful with my word choice (especially referring to.NET as a language, doh!). Happy Look Like an Idiot on the Internet Day. If your desire was to make yourself look like an ignorant internet troll … I believe you have succeeded.
