JFQ, what a stroke of genius! From now on, I hereby proclaim "Y2K" as a registered trademark of FBN. From now on, all non-FBN employees must now represent Y2K as "Y2K&reg*" or face the legal consequences from our esteemed legal team of Huntum and Beatum.

Is it true that FBN has copyrighted the phrase "Y2K", and expects to collect a fortune in royalties?

I'm afraid, Fred, taht I told you this in confidence, and here you are blabbing it all over SI! You would not have as easy a time as I I I should you find yourself in the nefarious hands of unscrupulous Italian sequestratori.

And it would serve you right.
