1. These articles are about a dispute between David J. Slater and PETA. While in Indonesia, a monkey named Naruto took a picture of himself while David’s camera was unattended. PETA thought that the monkey should own the rights to the image and recieve any and all money that he may receive for the picture.

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.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Naruto the monkey. Peta was suing the artist Mr. Slater, because technically the monkeys took the photo, which means they own it and its rights. Strater argued, justifically, that he was the one who organized the encounter. Slater that he got the monkey to press the shutter button, after preparing shot, which means it is his photograph. The lawsuit was settled when Slater agreed to donate 25% of the revenue from the photograph towards charities that protect macaques and their habitat. Slater’s image became famous on the internet, and he published it in his book. Any profit he made from the book and selfie, most likely went back into the lawsuit between him and PETA. I believe that the ownership of the photograph should be assigned to whichever human prepared and planned the photograph. If there is no human who planned for the photo, then it should go to the public domain. At the same time however the point that whoever physically presses the shutter button owns the image. This point is how I can understand where PETA was coming from. The monkey took the picture, he owns the picture. I think that the only reason PETA got so defensive, however, is that it was popular. PETA likes to be in the news, and attacking an artists piece is a quick way to be there.
