It's not really the "founder's" fault. It's a spelling fault. The emdash between "Blu" and "ray" makes the "R" in "ray" want to be capitalized, since the first word is.

Not to be nitpicky, but "–" is an em dash. A "-" is an en dash.
Somebody on holiday gave me a pirate disc with Blue-Ray emblazoned on the top. Needless to say it was just a crappy DVD, not even a BD-9.
Not to be nitpicky, but "—" is an em dash, a "–" is an en dash, and "-" is a figure dash (or hyphen).
An em dash is the width of an "M" and and en dash is the width of an "N" -- see the names are the clue.

Well, thanks for correcting me on that, Alex.
Is it weird that I thought the Em/En/Figure Dash discussion was more interesting than the capital R issue?
