Wikipedia has arranged a public vote to find out who owns the rights of the photograph of macaque monkey. The picture was taken from the camera of David Slate when a monkey grabbed his camera and started taking selfies. Slate is an Indonesian wildlife photographer.
The chief dispute is over the prerogatives of this photograph. Wikipedia requests the masses to determine who is the official proprietor of this photograph since Slate claims that he reserve all the rights of this picture. On the other hand, Wikipedia believes that the person who annex the picture holds all the rights therefore, in this case monkey has the rights of it.
Nevertheless, Stale stated that Wikipedia put obstructions in the way of his income by fighting over the rights of one of his most popular pictures. Now everything is in the hands of the public, if the masses say that the rights belong to monkey then Stale would not be able to put allegations on the company.
