Did I miss something? Afaik he's probably still taking Wikimedia to court. So where is the "winning" here?
Cheers, Rebecca
PS: that aside: you can have a picture with a monkey taking a selfie!! For most of us that is probably the closest we'll ever get to being in a monkey selfie! (It is ok though not to be excited about this)

Its fine to take a stand on a point of copyright.
But being dicks about winning is surely not the sort of attitude we

Agreed. It is rather tacky, juvenile and slightly unpleasant. Be magnanimous in victory and all that. It'd be nice to know who thought "take a photo with the monkey selfie" was a useful and productive piece of free culture activism. Because it just makes us look like mean jerks.
