"The monkey selfie copyright dispute is a series of disputes about the copyright status of selfies taken by Celebes crested macaques using equipment belonging to the British nature photographer David Slater. The disputes involve Wikimedia Commons and the blog Techdirt, which have hosted the images following their publication in newspapers in July 2011 over Slater's objections that he holds the copyright, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who have argued that the macaque should be assigned the copyright." (Wikipedia, n.d.). Note: as of 2020 Wikipedia makes this image available online with the following licence statement:
"This file is in the public domain because, as the work of a non-human animal, it has no human author in whom copyright is vested."
