Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing Showtime Networks for allegedly violating a trademark law by naming one of its shows "Californication," TMZ.com said.
The rock band's 1999 CD by the same name was listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 500 Albums of All Time."
Filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the lawsuit claims Showtime and others violated federal trademark law by using the same title for the Showtime series.
The band wants the cable network to change the show's name and turn over any profits it made, TMZ.com said.
"'Californication' is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career. For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right," lead singer Anthony Kiedis said in a statement.
