NPR AUDIO: “Anti-Muslim YouTube Video Still Stirring Controversy In The Courtroom”

From National Public Radio

Actress Cindy Lee Garcia (right) brought a copyright claim against Google with the help of attorney Cris Armenta over the film Innocence of Muslims, which was posted to YouTube in 2012.

Google intends to fight a court order to remove a controversial anti-Muslim video from YouTube in the U.S.

The company plans to file for a hearing before a full nine-judge panel of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals after two of three judges on a smaller panel forced the company to take down the film, Innocence of Muslims, which caused uproar in the Islamic world in 2012.

The battle in the U.S. revolves around a copyright claim, and the case sheds light on some of the details of Google’s takedown procedures.

The copyright claim was brought by actress Cindy Garcia.

Garcia spent two days working on a film she was told would be an adventure movie called Desert Warrior.
