Toby misses the mark as per. A photographer takes a snap of wildlife or, as in this case, sets up cameras and the monkey takes a selfie. Image goes viral and is used without permission. Owner asks for it not to be used only to be told he doesn't own the copyright and PETA sues the photographer on behalf of the F.U.C.K.I.N.G MONKEY! Don't eat meat, don't wear leather, don't "own" animals - all of that has legitimate arguments but ruining a man's livelihood and making him bankrupt because you think an animal has image copyrights shows we are utterly doomed as a species. If this was a dog/cat that was capable of earning such as the grumpy cat or handbag dog with a big tongue, then I can see why protection is needed as they have a readily identifiable brand image which could be open to commercial abuse. I fail to see how the same laws are applicable to some random monkey who has probably been eaten as jungle meat by now. If animals have image copyrights then what am I supposed to do about all the photos I've taken of dogs shagging?
We are doomed as a species anyway. You only have to read a few threads on here to see that there is little or no hope for humanity.
If using animal images is such a crime then this fecker needs hanging please log in to view this image
Bit of racism and Grove proving PETA's point at the same time. As per. Did you know they allow coloured people on buses?!?! You should start a thread about that too. You thick pointless ****.
You can't help but Mindy* yourself eh Tobeworm? When did I mention anything to do with being black in my rant? This is about a bloke losing his living because a monkey took a photo of itself with his camera, is it because the monkey was black that you think I've done another racist post? If you didn't read my post then fair play because who ever does but you are so up your own arse and despise me so much you jump to conclusions where there aren't any. You've moaned about click bait articles on other threads but you go and do it yourself on one of mine. *sorry Mindy.
