Google tries to undo US court ruling over YouTube trailer

Los Angeles

AN actress who said that she got death threats over a performance used in an anti-Islam YouTube clip has made enemies of Google Inc and Hollywood, which say her bid to erase it from the Internet is making "Swiss cheese" of US copyright law.

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.
