Check this out ! - The real story behind my profile pic !!!!

in #humor7 years ago (edited)

You know the whole story behind this picture ?

It is not a portrait - in fact it is said to be really a "random" selfie by an macaque messing around with an smartphone or tablet or digicam or something like that.

There was a huge quarel going on about the copyright because an animal rights organisation claimed the macaque is the creator and not the human owning the camera and they won in court ;) !

So the Macaque is the owner of all rights on this picture...

Anyway the animal rights organisation did an appoinment with the man owning the camera (a british photographer I guess as far as I remember) so that he gets 25 % of all money raised throug the pic and the macaque respectively the animal rights organisation gets 75 %.

As I got the picture from a platform providing cc0 content I do not have to worry about the license too much ;)

But If I become a whale here on Steemit.com of course some beneficial gos as well as ngos will also profit of that ;)

Just now I've heard about this macaque, he's funny & cute!

As far as I remember the photographer got sued and had to pay so much for lawyers that he became insolvent.

Upvoted and resteemed your post...

That's partially true - he would have become insolvent because of the costs of court and lawers and Royalities respectively compensation for Copyright missuse... but there was a peaceful agreement outside court like I described (25% to the photographer, 75 % to the macaque and his representative, the animal rights organisation ;) ) - as the picture went viral through a lot of media the photographer retired ;) so win win - big deal for everyone - hahaha ;)

upvoted and resteemed. :)
