That case doesn't have much to do with copyright law being complicated or not, it's mostly about whether copyright law applies to monkeys.

Copyright law can be complicated, but in this instance it was simple - under law, a nonsapient creature can't own property. And macaques are definitely nonsapient.

U.S must be a really boring place if people and jurys have the time to review whether a monkey can charge you for using his OC DO NOT STEAL or not.

PETA isn't in the US. They're off in their own world.

It's usually spelled PeTA because being ethical isn't really what they do.
