U.S. judge refuses to order anti-Muslim film off YouTube

(Reuters) - An actress who said she was duped into appearing in an anti-Islam film that stoked violent protests against the United States across the Muslim world on Friday lost her second legal bid to force the video off of YouTube.

Denying a request by actress Cindy Lee Garcia for a court order requiring the popular online video site to remove the crudely made 13-minute clip, a federal judge found she was unlikely to prevail on her claims of copyright infringement.

U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald of Santa Clara, California, also canceled a December 3 hearing he had previously set for oral arguments over Garcia's request.

Garcia's lawyer, Cris Armenta, told Reuters she planned to appeal the decision.

When the usual suspects commit crimes, we get simple descriptions like “youth” or in the UK we get “asian”.

Yet check out this reuters description:
“Egyptian....American...Coptic...Christian”

Makes me wonder if she’s really a U.S. Government employee.

Garcia’s case was the first known civil litigation stemming from the video, billed as a film trailer, which depicts the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and a sexual deviant. The clip sparked a torrent of anti-American unrest in Egypt, Libya and dozens of other Muslim countries. …
Yeah, keep broadcasting this lie as though it were truth, al-Reuters. The White House denied this and admitted the truth.

The protests and attack in Cairo weren't about that stupid 'video.'

Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots
Interviews on the streets of Cairo. 'Video' had nothing to do with protests and attack.

Not only did the administration piss on the 1st Amendment, it arguably put these lives at risk.

If every actor were to sue the producers on the grounds that he had been "duped" into performing in a production which he later regretted...

Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty in "Ishtar" etc.

Maybe it’s too late for my brain, but if I’m understanding this article, the judge won’t rule to have THAT video taken off youtube? The very same video our TOTUS says causes riots? I’m soooo confused!

I think it's pretty obvious that Cindy Lee Garcia and al-Reuters are firmly planted on the DemoRat Plantation and can easily prove they are both dupes.

It's been posted on YouTube and available for months. I finally got around to seeing it last week. Lame doesn't begin to describe it. Thirteen minutes out of my life that I'll never get back.

A few months ago when she filed the suit, she claimed that the words Islam or Mohamed were never in the script...they were dubbed in later.
