the Story that began in the summer of 2014, continued. Last August, we recall, British photographer claimed ownership of the photos made with the help of its camera black macaque-mage named Naruto. David Slater claimed that the representative of the family Martynovych stole his equipment and used for self-portraits.

the Animal had taken hundreds of photographs, among which was if not masterpieces, it is very successful from the point of view of perspective and exposure shots. Some got on the pages of Wikipedia, which aroused the indignation of the British and the desire to sue.

The Wikimedia Foundation also felt that the British do not own the rights to the photos, as they were made by an animal. Bureau copyright Biden also said that the works created by nature, animals or plants, not registered.

Now the goal was the photographer (and the publishing house that published the photo Slater), which attracted the attention of PETA, known for his fight for animal rights. Interests monkeys will now protect lawyers and expert on makkam which appear in the documents PETA as "the new friends Naruto." Activists want to achieve recognition of copyright for animals, reports CNET. "How dare the photographer or anyone else to make work animals? It's exploitation!" Asked whether they believed Naruto on this account, is not specified.
