It's definitely true in the song world that many songs end up with the same title. Sweet sweet market share and whatnot.

However, the RHCP have a point. One of the characters of the show is apparently nicknamed "Dani California," another RHCP reference. They might win a settlement; they certainly won't get all "all profits derived" as they are currently asking.

I'm <em>certain</em> the Peppers didn't coin the term. Can they sue just because they popularized it? The word isn't even copyrighted. In one of my back issues of Thrasher (skateboard) Magazine, a letter to the editor mentions trying to popularize the term <b>Going Postal</b>. Can they get residuals?

I had been reading about his studies, sounds like he finished his goal. As for Californication.....I have lived in two places in my life: CA and Oregon. I've never heard that word till The RHCP's came out with it. I am on their side :) Congrats to Brian. I had been reading about his studies, sounds like he finished his goal.
