Google must take down a controversial anti-Muslim video on YouTube that sparked protests across the Muslim world because keeping it on the website violates the rights of an actress who sued after she was duped into appearing in the film, a divided federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
In a 2-1 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Google's arguments that being forced to take down the video, "Innocence of Muslims," would be a prior restraint that would violate the company's First Amendment protections.
Google argued that taking the video down from YouTube would be futile because it is now in widespread circulation and that Garcia contributed to her own notoriety by filing the lawsuit. But the 9th Circuit disagreed and called the latter argument "preposterous."
In a secret order filed last week, the 9th Circuit first notified Google that it must take down the video from YouTube "or any other platforms under (its) control." That order was unsealed with Wednesday's ruling.
Judge N. Randy Smith dissented, finding that Garcia did not have a clear protection against the use of her acting work and that an injunction against Google goes too far. A Los Angeles federal judge had previously sided with Google, refusing Garcia's bid for an injunction.
A Google spokesman said the company "strongly disagrees with this ruling and will fight it."
Google can ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case with an 11-judge panel.
The ruling has sparked a debate on legal blogs and social media, with some free speech scholars expressing concern that the 9th Circuit extended copyright claims too far at the expense of the First Amendment.
"The idea that copyright is a tool that's going to be used to censor speech we don't like ... that's very dangerous," said Julie Ahrens, director of copyright and fair use at Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society. "It is a pretty stunning decision."
