A monkey grabbed photographer’s camera and took selfies. Wikipedia refuses copyright take down because monkey took the photo. Does the camera owner have a copyright claim?
I will remove this pic if the MONKEY asks me to.

Ha, ha. “The law rides an ass.”
Kinda brings the homily home. I could see the law (of copywrite) actually being just that. Common sense would speak to the owner of the camera….. the first hooman involved.
What about those pictures taken from a launched balloon? I guess the “c” owner set the timing mechanism?
Its the details………where the law lurks.
“Common sense would speak to the owner of the camera…..” – so you rent a camera and the rental agency gets rights… Law is as is because it must be like that. Rare consequences like this in exchange to undeniable clarity and simplicity. Just if all laws were written this simple.
Well Duce—you are just babbling and pretending your own authority……. just as you always do.
What is the law? Copy and paste in your next post.
Is the law so specific that it states what happens when a monkey steals your camera? ….. or you give it to a monkey planning for “it” to take pictures.
Or does it speak more generally.
As to rental cameras…..of course…the rental agreement controls.
Duce–you make yourself look silly, constantly posting as if you know what you are talking about. To those of us who do know what we are talking about……….thats a no-no.
/s is not on. But /sh is.
s = sarcasm
sh = self humor

Yeah Tim I saw that on the TV yesterday. Putin is really rubbing it in.
You see? Do?
What does putin have to do with this?? — I probably could have made the same graphic with a little bit of essential palsy and a laser pointer out my passenger window {sorry, bitch. It’ll heal… do you really have a valid visa??}….

Four Tits: shirley you are wrong?
Its like you are noting some leveling off of the hooman infantile need to say: “Look at Meeeeeee…… (gasp) …..eeeeeee”
You are looking at Me…. right?

If the camera owner gave the monkey a banana, it might be considered a work for hire. Then the camera owner could claim copyright. If the monkey was collaborating with the camera owner, then the monkey should get a percentage of the profits from the work. In either case there should be a written contract, so which the camera owner could enter in to with the monkey’s guardian, a zoo, perhaps? Or the government of the country the monkey resides in. All this is very simple, really. Perhaps the monkey needs an agent? Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Bonzo all had agents.
Monkey see monkey do. Putin takes Crimea and pushing into Ukraine. Obama now this minute just announced bombing ISIL supply chain. Here we go again, creating even more suicide bombers. It’s not our fight, but the oil is so tasty.
Only a DU reader could turn a monkey photo copyright story in to a diatribe on Putin and Crimea… The IQ here continues to drop…
You don’t think “Monkey see, Monkey do.” is a hard enough connection huh?
Everything is connected to everything else…… only a matter of degree.
Closer than abbo’s?
Who’s abbo bobbo, I understood most of normans post but not abbo. Wait, is abbo the aboriginal from Australia?
Tom maybe a douche I know, any comment I make he considers himself so superior he can’t help himself. Actually he’s so far to the right he held and waved pom poms while Bush was bombing Iraq in 2003. I hope I’m wrong about who this “Tom” is. If I’m right, Cupo go play elsewhere. If not, oh well, he’s still not added to the discussion.
jp–you have abbo quite correct.
But Bush wrong. In context: Tom is so far right he is waving pom poms as Putin goes into Ukraine. Its only when the smoke settles there is a chance he goes: “Whaaaa…..?” (Oops…right action, wrong team.)
The majority of Americans supported BushtheRetards invasion of Iraq. Most Russians support Putin.
Sad proof most people are stupid.
Cupo, take a long walk of a short pier. You, complaining about anthers comment? Ha Ha Ha. IQ is relative to information input and output on a test.
I don’t think you’re IQ is very high, what’s a diatribe? Obviously you don’t know.
Diatribe: a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something.
I attacked who? And what’s bitter in my statement about real news? Actually your not so intelligent words were more of a diatribe compared to what I wrote. Tommmy boy.
anthers sb anothers
stop correcting your typoos. It makes us look stupid for not boycotting this place cause wa ca not edit out own posts.
Only Tommmy would think a photo of a monkey is really more important than news of two F/A-18’s dropping 500lb bombs on Sunni’s operation in their own country. Sunni right or wrong have a legitimate stake in Iraq.
Oh, wait we brought democracy to Iraq, what a joke. Maybe we can re-rubblize Iraq so Halliburton can come back in and make more money.
So wikipedia doesn’t want to take down the picture and is enganged in excuse hunting.
FUCK MICROSOFT, APPLE AND THE RIAA/MPAA!
You want to know why copyright laws are all fucked up? THAT’S WHY!
… We’ll just not pay too much attention to whoever owned the CAMERA or who paid for the film or data card. Seems it’s OK to drive other people’s cars or live in their homes without permission too — so long as it’s a statement of copyrightable ART and no damage is done.
japan film, and after saying, couple live in various home in greater tokio area.. and filim is about how no body on st. and no family know. it not even squatting. .. it is wonderful how cobble stoned ppls are so … so insulated
Hey Norm —- given that FU has the issue totally backwards, your comment for once is right on….. in a backwards kind of way.
I think I saw the film you are referencing. Weirdly…I thought of you when I first saw it…. years ago.
How did that happen?
You need to get a third party to see if your looking pastalike…
i’m a tool
Gene Simmons, you hacked my email. Tool.
if you scroll up and down on the monkey pic then it looks like he’s making goo goo eyes at you.
{may have to change vertical sync/antialiasing options…YMMV}
This whole discussion is a joke, right. Compared to the math video posted, this is seriously just funny. Arguing who has copyrights.
Pedro said it best.
The photographer has rights, it’s his camera. What’s the discussion. Wikipedia, take down the pics. Stupid fodder to distract the shitizens.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=YaAxzIFgNso
Why does anyone have any rights at all?
What is a right?
This is heavy stuff…… like Norman said ….. like living underground and coming up into the darkness of night….
BWHAHAHAHAHAH!
Monkeys……. talk. I do mean this in the most positive affirmation of life I can make. Anyone have a banana?
i’ve got bunches of them…
If only NFS could understand what you just said.
Heh, heh.
Keep it up Four Tits…..I’m sure one of them works.
PUTIN! Take down that laser show.
Too much k for one man to take.
“”Don’t go on staring at me like that, because you’ll wear your eyes out.
Exactly. You nasty, nepharious, cherub-of-charon little spam-splunger.
Go fuck an RSS feed, already.

More fun than a barrel of photographers.
Nope, it’s that rara avis, the un-assignable copyright. The guy doesn’t own it, and the monkey can’t.
Enough of the freaking monkey.
Is there nothing else to discuss on DU?
