Madonna, whose new album recently leaked online, took to her Instagram account to rail against the criminals and reportedly compared the piracy to “artistic rape” and a “form of terrorism.” She has since deleted the post, however.
But with these comments coming so soon after the terror attacks in Sydney and Peshawar (and Nigeria this morning), many on Twitter are rightfully outraged at the aged pop-star:
If "terrorism" weren't strong enough, @Madonna calls it "artistic rape." That vs. the fleecing of fans to listen to more of your schlock.

As phrases go, I feel like "artistic rape" is really not one of the better ones.
