Don't mess with the IKEA brand, even in good faith, unless you either have deep pockets, therefore very good lawyers, or are very popular and can count on a lot followers on your side.

Anyone remembers about ikeahackers.net? IKEA initially shut it off on bogus trademark violation claims, then backed off only after public outcry.

Literally what they tried to do.

Could've blamed it on an over-zealous employee in the legal department, but instead ran with pretending it didn't happen.

I hadn't seen this - very gross move by ikea.
