Proposed deals between Hefner and private equity firm Rizvi Traverse Management value Playboy Enterprises at $185 million. Soon after the plans were announced, the owner of Penthouse magazine, Marc Bell, announced that his company would also make a bid for the iconic men’s magazine.

Meanwhile, a less iconic porn producer is about to be sued by the music industry for copyright infringement. The self-proclaimed “World’s Best Reality Porn Website” company Reality Kings has drawn fire for including pop songs, such as Justin Timberlake’s “Sexyback,” in their videos while their actors get it on in clubs and private parties.

RK attorney Marc Randazza plans on arguing the “fair use” of the music, because, “If you’re going to film in a live night club, you’re going to absorb some of the ambient sounds.”

In other public naughtiness, a naked mannequin in a Nebraska store window display prompted so many complaints that police were forced to conceal the window and open a new debate over what stands as public obscenity. The mannequin was seen wearing nothing but pants around its ankles and a pair of shoes. Attorney Dustin Garrison, who represents the store’s owner, said a lawsuit is being considered.

As Garrison told the Beatrice Daily Sun, “Nothing about a naked mannequin constitutes obscenity. I think we’ve all gone into a department store and seen a naked mannequin at one point in our lives.”
