Actress Cindy Lee Garcia filed an emergency motion with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hold YouTube in contempt for failing to comply with a decision by the 9th Circuit last month, according to court documents (http://bit.ly/1j3KFZa) filed Tuesday. The court ordered Google-owned YouTube to remove all copies of Innocence of Muslims -- a film associated with the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya -- from the video streaming site (CD Feb 28 p7), after the court found that Garcia had an “independent copyright interest” in the film. Garcia initially asked Google to take down the video once she began receiving death threats due to her minor acting role in the movie. “Google has failed to comply,” said the filing, and the video was still available on YouTube, as well as in Egypt, where the Islamic fatwa or legal opinion was issued for Garcia’s execution.
