Many moons ago we owned wickedconfinement.com - a BDSM-oriented site that featured only our own original content on it.
It was in operation for several years - then abruptly we were contacted by an 'in-house attorney' for Wicked Pictures Inc. - claiming we were infringing on their trademarked use of the word "wicked".
Initially I thought it was simply bullshit and asked if they were having a slow day in the office. But they persisted and threatened legal action against us. At which point we contacted our own attorneys for advice.
Long story short - the attorneys reached a settlement and we sold off the domain.
