Innocence of Muslims

Google must scrub YouTube of all copies of Innocence of Muslims after a federal appeals court sided with an actor who says she was tricked into participating in the infamous anti-Islam film.The actor in question is Cindy Lee Garcia, who (along with basically the entire cast and crew of the film) thought she was working on a production called Desert Warrior. Garcia had just a bit part in the film, for which she was paid $500. But filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula gave her a starring role in the trailer by taking her footage and (badly) dubbing in one of its most controversial lines: "Is your Mohammed a child molester?" Once the trailer made it to YouTube, Garcia received death threats and at least one fatwa from an Egyptian cleric. That's when she started sending takedown notices. Eventually, she sued Google, claiming copyright infringement.
