When
British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his
camera {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (take) away by a group of black monkeys. The result was
hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (one) show a monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then
sold the photos and they became popular {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the Internet.
Nobody
knew they would create a copyright(版权) battle
three years {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (late).
Not
long ago, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free
photos {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Slater's permission(允许). Slater
asked the website {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) them down since he owned the copyright.
{#blank#}7{#/blank#},
the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law,
whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright of the photo. It was
the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.
They
said, "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source
can't ask for copyright. That {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mean) monkeys don't own copyright."
Slater
argued that the pictures belonged to him as they were taken from his camera. He
said he bought the camera; he spent a lot of money {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (travel) to
Indonesia; and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his
camera away. All these have made him own the pictures, no matter {#blank#}10{#/blank#} pushed
the button. In a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos.
