21.11.2007, The Red Hot Chili Peppers were suing a US network over the name of its TV show, Californication saying the title was „immediately associated in the mind of the consumer” with its 1999 album and single release. The band filed a lawsuit against Showtime Network – the makers of the TV show, which featured David Duchovny as a writer going through a mid-life crisis. „For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right,” said the band’s singer, Anthony Kiedis. He described Californication as „the signature CD,video and song of the band’s career”.
