Club Rain?

I'm sure this won't be the most interesting subject discussed...but here in Rochester, NY a Club Rain just recently opened. Interestingly, the way Rain is spelled (designed) is identical to how it was appeared on Purple Rain. Additionally, the place has a purple theme to it...a purple glow that you can see from blocks away, advertisements all over the city with this "Rain" font that looks even more Purple Rainish, plus an 80's vibe to it.

Is this a copyright infringement or anything??? Can you so obviously bite off of Prince like that? Figured Londell might wanna know.

You're kidding right? You think Prince owns the word "Rain", the color Purple, and a font?
