Chili Peppers sue Showtime Networks

US band The Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing over the right to use the word Californication.

Showtime Networks has a television series which goes by the name Californication, but it is also the name of the band's 1999 album and one of its singles.

The suit filed in Los Angeles seeks a permanent injunction barring Showtime and the other defendants from using the title Californication for the show, damages and restitution and disgorgement of all profits derived by the defendants.
