The Smashing Pumpkins have filed a lawsuit against their label, Virgin Records, claiming the label illegally used the band's name and music in promotional deals that hurt the band's credibility with fans.  The band filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit on March 24th in Los Angeles Superior Court.  The band's lawsuit stems from Virgin's use of the band in a "Pepsi Stuff" promotion with Amazon and Pepsi. The Smashing Pumpkins released their comeback album Zeitgeist last year. Source: Billboard
