A lawsuit over the copyright ownership of a selfie taken by a monkey has been settled out of court.
The photographer - whose camera was used to take the photo of the crested macaque - agreed to donate 25 percent of future revenue to charities dedicated to protecting the species.
PETA was suing David Slater on behalf of the macaque monkey, seeking financial control of the photographs for the benefit of the monkey named Naruto that snapped the photos with Mr Slater’s camera.
Mr Slater argued that he engineered the photographs in 2008 by travelling to an Indonesia jungle, spending three days with a troupe of monkeys to gain their trust and deliberately making his camera accessible to the animals to take photographs.
