It isnt the cameras human owner, at least according to Wikimedia. As part of its first transparency report, which outlines government and corporate requests for user information and content takedown, Wikimedia has included a number of brief anecdotes illustrating the type of requests that it gets, and one of them has to do with a photograph taken by a monkey. The photo made its way onto Wikimedia Commons, and when the photographer requested that it be taken down, Wikimedia denied it, claiming he didnt own its copyright. Somewhat surprisingly, Wikimedias transparency report otherwise doesnt have a whole lot to see.
