The document discusses the possibility of animals and artificial intelligence receiving copyrights for creative works. It references several news articles about a monkey taking a selfie and raising questions about who owns the copyright, as well as the potential for AI to create copyrighted music, art, and literature. The document also discusses what the duration of copyrights might be for non-human creators, considering current human copyright terms are the life of the author plus 70 years. It describes a future product or service called "Non-human Copyrighting."
