The Swedish pop supergroup Abba on Friday (Dec 3) filed a lawsuit to stop a British cover band known as Abba Mania from using that name.

In a complaint filed with the US District Court in Manhattan, lawyers for Abba accused Abba Mania's managers of "parasitic and bad-faith conduct" by trading off Abba's goodwill and cachet in promoting Abba Mania.
