Is Backcountry.com going to sue me?
I have a handful of self-published books, all with "backcountry" in the title. Think, Backountry Ski Guide to X, and X Pass Backcountry Ski Guide. They are for sale on Amazon.
Not being facetious -- genuinely concerned/curious. Was not a worry until I saw that one of the parties sued is a non-profit called Backcountry Babes.

there's probably a thousand different guidebooks with "backcountry" in the title.
but just to be safe you should rename them all to the "goatfuckers guide"
