No quiet desperation at Thoreau’s
No monkeying around: Court
weighs if animal owns its selfies 200th birthday observance
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— A curious monkey with
a toothy grin and a knack
for pressing a camera button
was back in the spotlight
Wednesday as a federal
appeals court heard argu-
ments on whether an animal
can hold a copyright to selfie
photos.
A 45-minute hearing
before a three-judge panel
of the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in San
Francisco attracted crowds
of law students and curious
citizens who often burst into
laughter. The federal judges
also chuckled at times at the
novelty of the case, which
involves a monkey in another
country that is unaware of the
fuss.
Andrew Dhuey, attorney
for British nature photog-
rapher David Slater, said
“monkey see, monkey sue”
is not good law under any
federal act.
Naruto is a free-living
crested macaque who snapped
perfectly framed selfies in
2011 that would make even
the Kardashians proud.
People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals sued
Slater and the San Francis-
co-based
self-publishing
company Blurb, which
published a book called
“Wildlife Personalities” that
includes the monkey selfies,
for copyright infringement. It
sought a court order in 2015
allowing it to administer all
proceeds from the photos
taken in a wildlife reserve
in Sulawesi, Indonesia to
benefit the monkey.
Slater says the British
copyright for the photos
obtained by his company,
Wildlife Personalities Ltd.,
should be honored.
PETA attorney David

Attorney Andrew Dhuey, from left, representing pho-
tographer David Slater, attorney Angela Dunning, rep-
resenting Blurb, a San Francisco-based self-publishing
company, and Trevor Cooper, Legal Counsel at Blurb,
speak to reporters outside of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in San Francisco, Wednesday.
Schwarz argued that Naruto
was accustomed to cameras
and took the selfies when he
saw himself in the reflection
of the lens.
A federal judge ruled
against PETA and the monkey
last year, saying he lacked the
right to sue because there was
no indication that Congress
intended to extend copyright
protection to animals.
Throughout Wednesday’s
hearing, Schwarz pushed
back, arguing that the case
came down to one simple
fact: photographs can be
copyrighted and Naruto is the
author.
“We have to look at the
word ‘authorship’ in the
broadest sense,” he said.
The judges grilled him
on why PETA has status to
represent Naruto and said
that “having genuine care for
the animal” isn’t enough to
establish “next friend” rela-
tionship, which is required
to represent the monkey in
court.

The judges did not issue a
ruling Wednesday.
Angela Dunning, an
attorney for Blurb, wondered
at the possibilities if they do
not prevail.
“Where does it end? If a
monkey can sue for copyright
infringement, what else can a
monkey do?” she said after
the hearing.
PETA’s general counsel
Jeff Kerr said after the
hearing that the group plans
to use money from the photos
to protect monkey habitats
and help people study the
monkeys.
“PETA is clearly repre-
senting Naruto’s best inter-
ests,” he said.
Dhuey said the legal antics
were more of a publicity stunt
by PETA than a lawsuit. He
quipped after the hearing
that Naruto made a tactical
mistake by not appearing in
court.
“It’s like he doesn’t even
care,” he said before walking
away from cameras.

First, the Nicholas Lee Phillips family would like to thank the Vange
John Memorial Hospice personnel for all their loving care. Th ey were
never more than 10 minutes away from our house when summoned.
Th eir professional care and concern helped us to accept the things we
could not change. Helped us prepare for the fi nal outcome with less pain
and more understanding. Th ank you again.
Second, I would like to send a special thank you to my daughter, by love,
Amanda Morris, for all her help. Without her, I just don't think I would
have been able to make it through the last week. When Hospice called to
set things up for Nick, I couldn't deal with the situation and they talked
to Amanda who handled everything. Amanda also did such an amazing
job putting together the DVD of Nick's life in pictures and songs. Th ese
tasks were completed from her love. Also, would like to thank Jason
Morris, J C and Aiden for the patience they had while Amanda was
spending so much time with us and not at home. Love you all.
Finally, to Linda Hall, our sister by love. Th ank you from the bottom of
my heart for always being there for us. You sat with Nick every day so I
could continue to work during the week. Your love is pure and straight
from the heart. I Love You Sis.

CONCORD,
Mass.
(AP) — The mass of men
lead lives of quiet despera-
tion. The rest are observing
the 200th birthday of
Henry David Thoreau, the
author who penned that
line.
The U.S. Postal Service
marked
the
occasion
Wednesday with a new
postage stamp honoring
the “Walden” and “Civil
Disobedience”
writer,
philosopher and naturalist.
Thoreau was born in
Concord, Massachusetts,
on July 12, 1817.
Concord
Postmaster
Ray White and officials
from the Thoreau Farm
and Birthplace were on

They say it’s in tribute

his criticism of materialism
and the timeless questions

Fans gathered at Walden

and worked, to read aloud
from “Walden” and other
classics.
