Apparently forgetting about the recent release of "Zeitgeist," the Smashing Pumpkins have sued Virgin Records for damaging their "artistic integrity."
The band filed the lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles, alleging Virgin used the Pumpkins music in a "Pepsi Stuff" promotional campaign tied in with Amazon.com. Virgin is not authorized to use the band’s music to sell outside products, the Pumpkins maintain, even though they've been the band's label for 17 years. They can, however, sell downloads and spare parts from the ice cream truck seen in the "Today" video.
Members of Zwan, Billy Corgan’s other music credibility suicide attempt, were not available for comment.
