What are the articles about? What is the issue, and who are the people, organizations, and animals involved?

1. The articles are about the trial that went on between a photographer and PETA just because of copyright. A macaque took a photograph of himself and groups argue that the copyrights belong to either the monkey, the photographer, or no one.

The articles are about how a monkey took a selfie, and the guy who owned the camera and PETA got into a lawsuit as to whose picture it was. The guy who owned the camera was David Slater and PETA is some weird animal rights activist group.

It's about a monkey that took a picture of itself. The people and animals involved are Naruto the monkey, David Slater, and the PETA organization.

This article is about a monkey that took a picture of himself without anybody there. Peta and David Slater agreed to have 25 percent of the future revenue go to a charitable cause to protect Naruto. PETA filed a lawsuit because Naurto clicked the shutter and created the image that he is the owner of the image. The United States District Court said there was somewhere saying animals have a copyright act extended onto them. He agreed to donate 25 percent of future revenue of the images taken by the monkey to charitable organizations that protect Naruto. I think he is making more money because of how the picture was actually taken. Not really because the animal can't really do anything with the money but if it is on the photographers camera then i think David has the rights to the image also it never says anything about animals being allowed to have a copyright. If the animal takes the picture and clicks the shutter button they should have the right to it even if they can't do anything with the money or really anything they still own the right to the image

These 2 articles are about a lawsuit. A monkey took a picture and a man named David Slater sold it for money. A lawsuit was filed by PETA against David and they said that the monkey owns the picture so it should get the money. Peta tried to argue for animal rights to own photos but they ultimately failed. David agreed to donate 25% of future revenue to organizations that help endangered species but he is profiting off of the photo. Animals should not be able to own the rights to their artwork because they can’t do anything with it and they don’t use or need money, unlike us people. I think people should own these because we can actually put it to use and I think that’s pretty obvious. I think PETA doesn’t actually believe in animals owning their own artwork, they definitely know the whole situation is stupid and they know that the lawsuit was unnecessary. I think Peta was being annoying for the sake of being annoying because that’s kinda what they do. Also, PETA is just a group of hypocrites because they preach about saving animals but they kill thousands every year. Now I’m going to give my fake argument. This whole situation was very necessary and definitely need to happen. Animals need to be able to own their own artwork because it’s theirs and it shouldn’t be taken away and also how would you like it if I took your stuff away, you wouldn’t. We are definitely not harassing this man and wasting his time. This needs to be a thing.

The articles are about the Monkey Selfie Copyright issue. Photographer David Slater published a picture that Naruto took of himself on the photographer’s camera. PETA filed against the photographer saying that he copyrighted a photo because it was rightfully Naruto’s.
