Red Hot Chili Peppers Sues Showtime

The music group Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing Showtime Networks over the name of the television series called “Californication,” which is the same name of the group’s 1999 album. “Californication” was the biggest cd, video, and song of the group’s career.

The lawsuit claims unfair competition, dilution of the value of the name, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit also names the show’s creator and executive producer, Tom Kapinos, and two production companies, named Twilight Time Films and Aggressive Mediocrity Inc. The lawsuit is seeking a permanent injunction barring Showtime and other companies from using the title “Californication” for the show. They are also suing for damages, restitution, and disgorgement of all profits obtained by the defendants.
