Perhaps you've seen the images floating about the news in recent weeks - images of smiling Indonesian macaques taken with British photographer David Slater's camera by those very same macaques. These images have stirred up quite a bit of controversy in the few last weeks - mostly because the answer of who actually holds copyright on those iconic photos is in question. Is the holder of the copyright Mr. Slater, owner of the camera? Is it Caters News, distributor of Slater's images)? Or is it the picture taking macaques?
