This matches historical precedent in other nations where copyright was not extended to a photographer when a primate took a photo of themselves.

That was a terrible ruling. It should be about who got the camera there and set it up, not who pushed the button. With automated recording (dashcams) there isn't even "a button."

Hopefully no judge uses that as precedence.
