This is off topic but I can't help talking about it. This is real
There is a court case over a monkey that picked up a camera and managed to take some selfies. PETA says the copyright over the pictures belong to the monkey and any monies collected from selling the pics should go to the monkey. I kid you not. I'm sorry to say the monkey lost.

That was the whole point, the owner of the camera was selling the monkey's "selfies" and PETA wanted some of it.
@MikeFlora you said it... his monkey, his camera, fuck peta. Trying to be oportunistic bastards, often they had done a lot of good for our animal friends but Not this time.
Well, interesting case. Yes, PETA's contention is wrong, monkey's cannot hold a copyright. Only human beings can. However, does this mean the pictures are public domain since the monkey took them, or can the owner of the camera claim copyright?

If peta wants to make a case, let them start distributing cameras among animal population or kiss my ass whatever is easier, I reckon.
owner of camera wins
