Naruto’s Selfie
Ten years ago, the photographer David Slater traveled to Indonesia to
photograph animals from up close. He put his camera in the forest, and
waited for the animals to get closer (lit. that the animals will get closer).
Naruto the monkey felt very comfortable, got closer to the camera and
photographed itself. The morning after, its selfie was already everywhere,
and even Wikipedia wrote about it, but then the whole mess started. Slater
asked Wikipedia to pay him for the picture and they said that the pictures
isn’t his, it’s Naruto’s. Ten years later, the court decided on a compromise:
The picture is Slater’s, and Naruto will receive twenty five percent of the
profits.
