Thank you Flavorwire for putting together this video list of "SM" in music videos, after the controversy surrounding Rihanna's new video "S&M" began. Artist David LaChapelle has recently launched a lawsuit against the singer for using his iconography in this video. "The suit asks for US$1 million in damages and argues that the video is “directly derived from and substantially similar” to LaChapelle’s photographs, the Times reports. A total of eight images were identified in the claim, including one of a dominatrix walking a man on a leash and a woman in latex headgear, the Times said." reposted by Designtaxi.
