The Red Hot Chili Peppers on Monday sued Showtime Networks over the name of the television series "Californication," which is also the name of the band's 1999 album and a single on it.
The lawsuit alleges unfair competition, dilution of the value of the name and unjust enrichment, claiming the title is "inherently distinctive, famous ... and immediately associated in the mind of the consumer" with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
"Californication is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career, and for some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right," the band's lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, said in a statement.
The word existed before Kiedis used it. And coming from a guy who blatantly ripped off "Last Dance with Mary Jane", I call bullshit on this load of hypocrisy.

This right here has put me against the RHCP, like Napster users against Metallica. Seriously?!!???!?!? WEAK! This show is fantastic, and the RHCP are just jealous. If the show bombed, then they wouldnt have given two sh*ts.

I'm sorry, Oregon has owned this property for 40 years, maybe they should be the ones suing the RHCP's
"When Tom McCall was the Governor of Oregon ('67-'75) he led the "Don't Californicate Oregon" campaign. There were a variety of bumper stickers to that effect"
Anthony, don't be a KieDick... you must have something better you could be doing, no?
;D
