The popular band Red Hot Chili Peppers sued Showtime for naming one of their shows “Californication”, the same name the RHCP used over a decade ago for one of their albums.

This lawsuit discourages Showtime and anyone else from using “their” phrase in the future. The Chili Peppers are also seeking damages and restitution to make this lawsuit even more spicy.

In the show’s defense, the producer explained he got the name from a popular bumper sticker in the 70′s.
