This story amused me a lot more than I really should admit, and it
is more or less on-topic, here.
Wikipedia refuses to delete photo as 'monkey owns it' and
Who owns this monkey’s selfie?.
Note the difference in tone, by the way, between the two articles. The UK-based article focuses on the effort and need, because copyright is considered more or less a "moral right" in most European countries, whereas the United States conception is a (temporary) reward for publishing. All the copyright term extension arguments, you'll notice, argue from that "moral right" stance.
(Which reminds me, copyright term extension should start getting back into the news soon. All those remaining 1923 copyrights are currently set to expire at the end of 2018, if I remember correctly. Well, unless someone back-doors the idea with a treaty like the
TPP.)
