Of Monkies and Selfies

[RblDiver]

Holy cow, mark your calendars, the Ninth actually got a case right! TLDR version - Guy leaves camera, monkey picks up camera. Monkey takes many amusing selfies with camera. PETA sues to take control of profits "on behalf of monkey." Lose initial case, lose appeal.

One judge even said he would have found it a frivolous lawsuit and dismissed on grounds other than copyright.

Excuse me, I'm off to get my air mail bacon and then go ice skating on the Styx.

The picture of the monkey in the article wasn't even smiling, and it didn't even look like a selfie. I'm confused.

Since when does a selfie require a smile?


And we already knew that you were confused.

Sent from somewhere...

Spank the monkey, PETA will get you for that.

The Onion brings up a great point.

The Ninth Circuit has screwed up copyright law so much ......
