    The monkey selfie case did not set any kind of precedence.

    literally next sentence.

    Animals cannot own property, including copyrights.

    This sounds like a precedent…

      Animals never could own property. PETA sued to get the monkey recognized as author and thus copyright-holder of the selfie. Or, more likely, to generate publicity as that was obviously never going to happen.

        Correct. Which the court set a precedent for during that court case.

        You claimed that no precedent was set. That’s incorrect.
