E6: Monkey Selfie Copyright Qualms and Big Milk Propaganda

Listen on

Episode notes

Let's pretend like this almost 4 month long break was intentional, shall we? This episode, Alicia talks about several legal cases involving animals, including one involving copyright disputes over a selfie taken by a monkey. Then we get into a discussion about animal rights activism and whether it's ethical to own pets. Tyler follows up on cheese caves, mentioned in Episode 4! A surplus in dairy products led to the U.S. government owning a bunch of cheese and a nationwide promotion of milk.
