The Blu-ray name - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone own the Blu-ray name? Does a website like this (Blu-ray.com)need permission to operate under this name? Or is the Blu-ray name just referring to the format, and thus freely available? Just curious as to what the situation is. Thanks

the term "Blu-ray Disc" is registered

"blu-ray" isn't, so they don't have to pay royalties.
