Was the pictures model released?
Would your opinion change if it was not the photographer's idea? This article just states that he left the camera unattended, not that he handed it to the monkey..... Monkey Business: Can A Monkey License Its Copyrights To A News Agency?
Also, in the above article it discusses the notion of handing your camera to a tourist to take a photo of you posing with your wife. Technically, the tourist owns the rights...they took the photo.
I can't help but wonder if the ape chimped each shot...
It's an animal...
I always find copyright/ownership rights in regards to art an interesting topic.
At what point is art public domain?
T Because he clearly had NOTHING to do with taking the photo. It was his IDEA and nothing more.
What case are you resting?
