The news: “In its first revision in over two decades, the U.S. Copyright Office has published a new draft update to its existing rules regarding ownership of photographs, text and art, stating that non-human beings cannot own copyright” ,

They came as a draft , remains on review until it will then be official law ….. Monkey selfies can not be copyrighted.

I don’t know if the claim has not yet been settled, and what is the consequences or situation’s changes in case that British wildlife photographer David Slater seeks interference and help of court !

According to the new rules which supports Wikimedia’s claim that such works produced by “nature, animals or plants,” cannot claim copyright – I disagree with them to some extent- about how we differentiate or interpret the spontaneous nature’s behavior other than intended or “programmed” one that has already been arranged by external “human” factor!

In my opinion, the dispute should consider a minimum limit of flexibility in regard to identify clearly- all different technical aspects related to ownership.
