Editing Tim O'Reilly (section)

=== Early causes ===
In 1996, O'Reilly fought against a 10-Connection Limit on TCP/IP NT Workstations, writing a letter to the [[United States Department of Justice]], [[Bill Gates]], and [[CNN]], concerned that the Internet was still in its infancy, and that limitations could cripple the technology before it ever had a chance to reach its full potential.<ref name="TCPIP">{{cite web |url=http://tim.oreilly.com/10-conn/ |title=The 1996 Controversy about the 10-Connection Limit on TCP/IP in NT Workstation |access-date=2011-08-25 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011110141449/http://tim.oreilly.com/10-conn/ |archive-date=10 November 2001 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In 2001, O'Reilly was involved in a dispute with [[Amazon.com]],<ref>{{cite web|last=O'Reilly|first=Tim|title=Internet Land Grab|url=http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/cacm3.html|work=oreillynet.com|access-date=27 April 2014|date=June 2000}}</ref> against Amazon's [[1-Click|one-click]] patent and, specifically, Amazon's assertion of that patent against rival [[Barnes & Noble]]. The protest ended with O'Reilly and Amazon.com founder [[Jeff Bezos]] visiting Washington D.C. to lobby for patent reform.
