Wikipedia Refuses To Delete Photo As 'Monkey Owns It'

British nature photographer David Slater was in Indonesia in 2011 attempting to get the perfect image of a crested black macaque when one of the animals came up to investigate his equipment, hijacked a camera and took hundreds of selfies.

Now David Slater wants Wikipedia to stop distributing his most famous shot for free because it is used online without his permission. But Wikipedia refuses to delete the photo because Slater didn't take the photo. A monkey pressed the shutter button and should own the copyright.
