๐ ๐ ๐ Monkey selfie copyright dispute
๐ค A curious monkey took your camera and take a few selfies, who owns the copyright to the selfies?
๐ท In the original dispute, David Slater, a British nature photograher had argued that the selfies belong to him with the court ruled that since a monkey cannot legally own copyright under U.S. law, and thus, the selfies would belong to Slater.
ยฉ๏ธ A counter claim was later filed by PETA in 2015 on behalf of Naruto, the macaque that took the selfies. Case was ended with undisclosed settlement with Slater donating 25 percent of future revenue to groups that protect macuques and their habitat in Indonesia.
