Hi folks,
An interesting dilemma, and maybe even a costly one:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/11015672/Wikipedia-refuses-to-delete-photo-as-monkey-owns-it.html
Also: http://www.nearbycafe.com/artandphoto/photocritic/2011/07/27/dog-days-news-notes/
I suppose it boils down to, do animals enjoy the same legal protection as humans (which in most jurisdictions they don't), or does the Copyright act specify that only humans are covered (I'd have to look into that one)?
Cheers,
Bart
