EntrySummary
David Slater, a British photographer, requested that Wikimedia, the organization responsible for the public domain image bank of Wikipedia, take down a photo of a macaque selfie. He claimed that although the monkey itself took the picture, he owned the copyrights because he was responsible for setting up and publishing the photo that was taken with his camera. To end the battle of others using his photo for free, he decided to take the matter to court. A United States court ruled that the monkey selfie couldn’t be copyrighted because the image didn’t belong to the photographer, and animals can’t own copyrights. In a world in which animals can also take photos, we want to provide a solution to this copyright protection with Animal Copyrights.
