Wikimedia and a British photographer are fighting over a monkey selfie.

According to kdvr.com, the photographer says he was in Indonesia in 2011 when a crested black macaque stole his camera and actually started taking photos.

Wikimedia published the photo and said it is now in the public domain.

The photographer, David Slater, says the photo is his property and Wikimedia could be taking a chunk of change out of his pocket.
