That article doesn't days anything about any 9th Circuit ruling. ArmbrustTheHomunculus 07:37, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I have replied to the IP at Media Copyright Questions where he raised the same issue. As you say, the settlement does not affect the copyright status of the image. AlasdairEdits (talk) 11:16, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
No it does not. The court refused to accept the settlement and subsequently ruled against PETA. 108.168.84.99 (talk) 17:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
PETA dropped its lawsuit contesting the copyright. You can't (legally) claim it is public domain. Nor could you after the 2016 ruling, either, for that matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.137.251.251 (talk) 16:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
PETA was claiming this the monkey had a copyright to the image since it took the camera and pressed the button. Wikipedia' position was that neither party had a copyright since the cameraman did not take the picture and the minkey did not have the rights to it either so a ruling that the monkey did not save a copyright does not prove that the picture is not public domain. Logically, if Wikipedia believe this thr monkey had a copyright they wouldn't have considered the image public domain in the first place.--67.68.21.146 (talk) 23:59, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
