Monkey owns rights to selfies.
British nature photographer David Slater was photographing crested black macaques when one of the creatures stole off with one of his cameras and took hundreds of selfies.
Several of the images were undeniably charming and were widely distributed internationally.
Mr Slater now faces a legal battle with Wikimedia, after it released them for free online.
?If the monkey took [them], then it owns the copyright, they said, not me!"
-Mr. Slater.
The author credit on Wikimedia reads ?Self-portrait by the depicted Macaca nigra female?.
