Quote:?
How about you start the story from its beginning?
There was not possibly a sentence like ...
"After the original monkey selfie photos went viral on the Web, a takedown request was sent on Slater’s behalf to a publication that shared the images."
... somewhere. And you are aware what "takedown requests" are and
what it means that they were being sent on "Slater's behalf" ?
So, eventually you realise, there has been action before the guy was being sued by Peta?
But eventually, you live in a universe with a slightly different kind of truth?
(A universe with a blond wig eventually?)
