A monkey selfie image now has caused uproar on the internet following a debate over who owns the image. A guy named David Slater was taking photos of monkey’s when one of them took the camera of him and took a picture itself. Now the photo has now became famous with a huge amount of people using it.
People are saying that they don’t have to pay to use it because the monkey took the photo so no human owns the copyright. Usually professional photographers charge anyone who uses the snap they’ve taken because they own something called a copyright.
Wikipedia has been using one of the monkey’s selfie image without paying. They say that although the photo was taken on David Slater’s camera he still didn’t take the photo. Now he is angry and trying to find the site to take the picture down.
Hi Elizabeth, That was really funny how the monkey took the photo itself. Is there a video of the monkey taking a photo of itself?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Sini. The site that I got information about this didn't have a video but I'll try find one.
