Google and YouTube must scrub all copies of Innocence of Muslims, a low-budget anti-Islam film that drew international protest in 2012, at the behest of an actress who says she received death threats after being duped into a role. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted a temporary takedown order on behalf of Cindy Lee Garcia, who filed a copyright claim against Google in an attempt to purge the video from the web. In a majority opinion, Judge Alex Kozinski said she was likely in the right. Its well established that most people involved in Innocence of Muslims had no idea they were appearing in a diatribe against Islam.
