I think this is just a bit of overreacting. I don't feel like a jerk
because I took a #monkeyselfie, it's just a joke. I don't think the
photographer will get mad at us for this, nor that he will feel mocked by
an innocent game. It's about fun, not about copyright law.

Its fine to take a stand on a point of copyright.
But being dicks about winning is surely not the sort of attitude we want
to display? Hardly helps support our stance as serious, rather than
trollish.
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.
