Well, technically said, the Photographer has not lost a lawsuit to a monkey
... so the caption is a bit misleading ...
But the lesson learned from this is ...
as a photographer, you cannot and must not sell (or try to sell, or claim ownership of)
photographs you did not personally take yourself.
The case is ridiculous ... but it started with a fault of the photographer ...
he should have let that photo go when it was already on the internet (rather
than claiming his copyright (that never existed)) ... or ... he should have
never published the photographs.
So ... acutally this case is not so hilarious at all.
