Monkey Selfie Copyright

A US court has ruled that a monkey who snapped a selfie on a wildlife photographer's camera does not own the copyright to the image, which became an internet sensation.

An Indonesian monkey who shot to fame after it snapped a grinning selfie -- and sparked a landmark US copyright case -- was named "Person of the Year" Wednesday by the animal rights group that took on the simian's cause.

An animal charity has appealed a US court decision which ruled a monkey could not own the copyright to a selfie photograph it took.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) animal rights organisation has filed an appeal to the US Court of Appeals for justice to Naruto -- a now-famous monkey known for taking a "selfie" that prompted an unprecedented copyright lawsuit -- at claiming ownership over his image.

Peta has filed and appeal against a lower court's decision in January this year that declined to give a macaque monkey the right to his famous selfie.

Naruto shot to fame last year after a photographer published pictures taken by the monkey with his camera.

The saga of a series of "Monkey Selfies" snapped four years ago in the Indonesian wilderness using a camera borrowed from a nature photographer seems to never end. At least it also appears to never get boring.

A rare crested macaque monkey who snapped a well-known, grinning "selfie" should be declared the photo's owner and receive damages for copyright infringement after it was used in a wildlife book, animal rights activists argued in a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday.

US regulators confirmed Wikimedia's conclusion that neither the photographer or the monkey owns the copyright, and the image is in the public domain.

The US Copyright Office has confirmed that a monkey - or any other animal - that takes a selfie does not own the copyright of the photo.

A series of "selfies" taken by Indonesian monkeys has sparked a copyright argument between a British photographer and Wikipedia.

"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."
