FYI.

Recorded Jan. 30, 2018 at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society

"After a photographer left his camera equipment out for a group of
wild macaques to explore, the monkeys took a series of photos,
including selfies. Once the photos were posted publicly, legal
disputes arose around who should own the copyrights — the human
photographer who engineered the situation, or the macaques who snapped
the photos. This unique case raises the increasingly pertinent
question as to whether non-humans — whether they be monkeys or
artificial intelligence machines — can claim copyrights to their
creations.

Jon Lovvorn, Lecturer on Law and the Policy Director of Harvard Law
School's Animal Law & Policy Program, hosts a discussion panel
featuring Jeff Kerr, the General Counsel of PETA, which sued on behalf
of the monkey, and experts on copyright, cyber law, and intermediary
liability issues, as well as Tiffany C. Li of Yale Law School’s
Information Society Project, and Christopher T. Bavitz and Kendra
Albert of Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic."
