"... which features hardcore reenactments of sexy works housed in six major museums by an amateur couple known by the monicker MySweetApple. In their riff on Edgar Degas’s 'Male Nude' (1856), in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Impressionist painter’s sprawled sitter gets a blowjob.... Kitagawa Utamaro’s 'Fujin sogaku jittai' (1802-1803), according to Pornhub, is 'a woodblock print of a girl washing her hair so blissfully that she hasn’t noticed the monumental nip-slip.'... The Met and the National Gallery have both said they do not plan on pursuing legal actions against the company for featuring images of their works on 'Classic Nudes.' 'The museum’s Open Access program provides public access to hundreds of thousands of images of works in our collection, and we generally do not seek to regulate the wide range of uses of these images,' Kenneth Weine, chief communications officer at the Met, told Hyperallergic."
From "Uffizi Is Suing Pornhub After It Turns Masterpieces Into Live Porn/The company’s 'Show Me the Nudes' initiative turns classic paintings from international museums into live pornography" (Hyperallergenic).
This gets my "lawsuits I hope will fail."
