Yeah, they should have taken the $50,000, but I don't think they should have taken it that far in the first place. So a real band and a fictional band have the same name? Big freaking deal! Feel flattered. Or at the very least just shrug it off.
I hate how creativity is limited because of fear of lawsuits.

I agree with you. It's like how Nintendo isn't mad about Sony putting the six degress of motion sensing thingy in the PS3 controller. Miyamoto even said: "It's kind of what always seems to happen. But the fact that they looked at what we were doing and decided it was a good path is kind of flattering; it kind of reinforces in our minds that we're doing the right thing."
So I totally agree with what you said, especially the part about waiting for the movie to come out. Some people
