Google Ordered to Remove Anti-Muslim Film from YouTube (CNN) Google must remove the inflammatory film "The Innocence of Muslims" from YouTube.com, a federal appeals court ordered Wednesday. The film had been connected to violent demonstrations in several countries. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court's earlier denial of an injunction that would require taking the film down. The Huffington Post A divided three-judge panel said the YouTube posting infringed actress Cindy Lee Garcia's copyright to her role in the film. Garcia said she was duped into appearing in the film by the man behind it, Mark Basseley Youssef. TIME Google had previously declined to take the 14-minute Youtube video down, despite calls for its removal from the White House. “Garcia’s performance was used in a way that she found abhorrent and her appearance in the film subjected her to threats of physical harm and even death,” Chief Judge Alex Kozinski wrote for the majority court. “Despite these harms, and despite Garcia’s viable copyright claim, Google refused to remove the film from YouTube.” San Francisco Chronicle Dissenting Judge N. Randy Smith said Garcia has no rights over a film made by others and failed to show how she would be harmed by continued airing of the video. Garcia, in a statement released by her lawyers, said she was grateful that the court recognized "the real danger that I have been in since YouTube posted that hateful film." ABC News/AP For Google, the ruling represents a nettlesome issue if allowed to stand. The company fears that bit players and extras appearing in popular clips will now be emboldened to send takedown notices to YouTube unless settlements can be reached with the filmmakers.
