After following about 25 endangered black monkeys in the forest, Slater set up his camera. The monkeys went up to it, and were attracted by it immediately. Finally, they began playing with the camera and took photos of themselves. One monkey took many photos, some of which appeared with a July 2011 Daily Mail article about Slater playing with the monkeys. One of the photos became the cover of a book of Slater’s work, Wildlife Personalities, which was published in 2014 by Blurb, Inc., in San Francisco. Slater is considered as the copyright(版权)owner of the photos. In September 2015, however, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA)considered the monkey called Naruto as the copyright owner of the photos. Through his “friends” at PETA, Naruto was suing(控诉)the photographer and the publishing company Blurb for copyright:“The photos resulted from the purposeful actions of Naruto and were not helped by Slater, resulting in works of authorship...by Naruto.” “If a human had taken a photo with Slater’s camera, that person would own the copyright of the photo,” says Jeff Kerr of PETA.“Naruto should be treated no differently.” The lawyer for Slater and Blurb, Andrew Dhuey, required that the case be dismissed(驳回)in November 2015.Dhuey mentioned a 2004 case in which the court had to decide whether whales could sue the US Navy for the danger they’d received from machines used by the Navy. The court ruled that they could not. In January, the court ruled in favor of dismissing the case. PETA lawyer Jeff Kerr objected, “We believe it has been stated clearly in the Copyright Act. The Act allows courts to fill in decisions like this one.” 1.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A.To tell a story to support the topic. B.To give the background information.
