Uh-oh. Rihanna’s S/M lawsuit loses fair use: The judge finds that the common theme of S&M and elements like leather?or latex-clad women, whips, ball gags, people in restraints, men on leashes, and other aggressive, sexually-charged motifs?are NOT protectible.

There are some who say it’s easy to be brave when you’re hella rich, but I’m not so sure — when you’re a memetic engineer working on memes about sex and freedom and what it means to be female in the 21st century, the waves of judgment and hatred and condemnation cannot be easy to surf, even when you’ve got a platoon of bodyguards and handlers and...
