There'd be no question of rights for any of the shots I saw in the article. My personal property being in your photo, taken in and of a public place, doesn't give me any ownership; if you take a picture of me then it can be more complicated, but an object (or a monkey!) has no likeness rights of which I'm aware.

- throwanem 7y agoThese aren't selfies, so the relevance is limited, even assuming (imo charitably) that the arguments against copyright in that case are other than specious.
- _ph_ 7y agoThe ownership/copyright to a picture always belongs to the creative person responsible for creating it, that usually is the photographer. Even if the photo shows persons, the photo is owned by the photographer. Depending on the circumstances of where and how the picture was taken, the depicted persons have to to agree to any publication of the photo - that is what model releases are for.
