Californicating with the law

I see where the Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing Showtime over the title of their series, "Californication", claiming they pretty much own that clever bit of wordplay.

Uh, guys, all due respect, but Memorial Junior High School in Minot, North Dakota, would like a few million dollars...as I recall them using that bit in an article in 1967 in their school newspaper, and copyright being what it is; fork it over, boys. (and it wasn't a new idea then, either)

C'mon people, get with the sanity. This is as stupid as Harlan Ellison extorting a screen credit on "The Terminator" because he invented time travel, or at least he seems to think so and Jim Cameron and the studio didn't have the cajones to laugh it off.

Duchovy and company, don't give an inch.
