Google tries to undo US court ruling over YouTube trailer
Actress in anti-Islam clip wins case, citing death threats

The owner of the world's largest search engine, the California Broadcasters Association and the American Civil Liberties Union all foresee dire consequences if a US appeals court doesn't overturn a first-of-its-kind ruling giving actress Cindy Lee Garcia a copyright interest in her performance.
