In a stunning decision<\/a> recently released by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Google was ordered to remove the now-infamous film, \u201cInnocence of Muslims\u201d, from YouTube. While the ruling challenges traditional understandings of copyright ownership and protected expression under US copyright law, the Court\u2019s unprecedented opinion also has significant implications for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Online Service Providers (OSPs) responding to takedown requests, as well as the future of online free speech.

<\/p>\n

\u201cInnocence of Muslims\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

In 2012, producer Mark Basseley Youssef cast Cindy Lee Garcia, a struggling actress, in a minor role in the film \u201cDessert Warrior\u201d, a production that would never come to fruition. Garcia\u2019s performance would instead appear in a 13-minute controversial film released on YouTube entitled \u201cInnocence of Muslims<\/a>\u201d. \u00a0The film portrayed the prophet Mohammed as a murderer and sexual deviant. Five seconds of Garcia\u2019s previous work on Dessert Warrior were used in the film, and the clip was partially dubbed over so that she appeared to ask, \u201cIs your Mohammed a child molester?\u201d

<\/p>\n

It was only when the Muslim backlash began that Garcia realized what had happened.

<\/p>\n

The inflammatory film immediately sparked political controversy for its anti-Islamic content, causing outrage throughout the Muslim community. Garcia began to receive threats to her life, and petitioned Google to remove the content from YouTube. After Google refused her repeated requests, on the basis that she was not the copyright owner of the film, Garcia initiated legal action to obtain an injunction, requiring Google to take down the video on copyright infringement grounds.\u00a0

<\/p>\n

Decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - Reconceiving Notions of Copyright Ownership<\/b><\/p>\n

In a 2-1 decision, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski proposed that an actor\u2019s performance in a film is copyrightable, when fixed, if it evinces some minimal degree of creativity. This statement appears inconsistent with Aalmuhammed v. Lee<\/i><\/a>, <\/i>a longstanding authority on what it means to be an author. In that case, the court held that a creative contribution does not suffice to establish authorship of a movie. However, Kozinski argued that Garcia\u2019s situation could be distinguished from Aalmuhammed, <\/i>as Garcia was not asserting ownership over the whole work: \u201c[n]othing in the Copyright Act suggests that a copyright interest in a creative contribution to a work simply disappears because the contributor doesn\u2019t qualify as a joint author to the entire work.\u201d

<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that Garcia conceded she had no creative control over the script or her performance, the majority held that Garcia likely has a copyright interest in her personal contribution, being \u201cthe portion of the film that represents her individual creativity.\u201d Finding for Garcia, the Court ordered Google to remove all copies of \u201cInnocence of \u201cMuslims\u201d from YouTube and every other platform within Google\u2019s control. In addition, the order requires that Google take all reasonable steps to prevent further uploads of the film.

<\/p>\n

Most contributions to a motion picture are created as works made for hire (the US equivalent of works made in the course of employment under Canadian copyright law), which prevents the actor from claiming copyright in his or her performance. Alternatively, the filmmaker\u2019s use of the actor\u2019s performance will usually be permitted due to an explicit or implied license.\u00a0 As such, it may be a rare occasion where actors can claim copyright in their individual performance in a film.

<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the different interpretations of the divided Court illustrates the uncertainty over the application of the law in this area.\u00a0 The majority found that Garcia had a copyright interest in her contribution, although the dissenting judge noted that Garcia was \"an actress acting out a script that she did not write under the direction of someone else who provides all of the instruments, tools and leadership.\u201d Characterized in this manner, it is difficult to see how Garcia\u2019s performance jives with traditional conceptions of authorship and copyright-protected expression under both US and Canadian law.

<\/p>\n

The decision implies that anyone who contributes creative expression to a movie or other form of copyrighted work may have an independent copyright interest, which they can use as a sword against the work\u2019s distribution and performance.

<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Big Deal?<\/b><\/p>\n

To avoid liability and benefit from the safe harbor provisions in the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act<\/em><\/a> (DMCA), ISPs and OSPs (service providers) must abide by the legislation\u2019s \"notice and takedown\" (NTD) rules under \u00a7 512<\/a>.\u00a0 Under the DMCA, service providers are required to prevent infringement by expeditiously taking down allegedly infringing subject matter when they receive an allegation of infringement from a copyright owner.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

While the Ninth Circuit\u2019s take-down-and-stay order originally required Google to remove the film in its entirety, in response to Google\u2019s objections, the Court later restricted the order to versions of the film that include Garcia\u2019s performance. However, the tailoring of the order does not alter the fact that the Court\u2019s novel approach to copyright ownership increases the burden on service providers in responding to allegations of copyright infringement under the DMCA.

<\/p>\n

The NTD system has already been heavily criticized for introducing a pre-judicial determination of copyright infringement on the part of service providers, who have no expertise in copyright law.[2]<\/a> As a result, service providers will often remove content based on tenuous or unsubstantiated copyright infringement claims in an effort to immunize themselves from liability.

<\/p>\n

By expanding the scope of authorship to contributors who wouldn\u2019t previously have been considered copyright owners, the Garcia<\/i> decision forces online content platforms to ascertain which of the actors in a particular video have a legitimate copyright claim. As Andrew McDiarmid of the US Center for Democracy and Technology comments<\/a>: \u201cDMCA takedown notices from frustrated bit players, which last week would have been easily ignored as not coming from the copyright holder for the work, might now be honored for fear of litigation.\u201d

<\/p>\n

Suppose an individual alleges infringement of their contribution to a copyrighted work and notifies the service provider, as Garcia did. \u00a0Due to last week\u2019s decision and the liability structure of the DMCA, rather than dispute the claim, that\u00a0service provider is much more likely to remove the entire work without bothering to determine the legitimacy of the person\u2019s copyright interest or going through the hassle of removing only those segments pertaining to the claimant\u2019s particular contribution. It seems reasonably inevitable that the Garcia <\/i>decision, combined with the NTD regime, will prove to be a significant barrier to freedom of expression.

<\/p>\n

Such damaging repercussions may have been avoided under a notice-and-notice system of\u00a0service provider liability, such as the one implemented by the Canadian Copyright Modernization Act<\/i>.<\/a> Under our Canadian scheme, service providers are not liable for infringement as long as they forward the notice from the copyright owner to its allegedly infringing end user. There is no requirement that the\u00a0service provider remove the disputed content. Under such a system, the consequences of the Garcia <\/i>decision for service providers would be limited to the administrative hassle of forwarding significantly more alleged infringement notices from a greater pool of potential copyright owners. This is particularly noteworthy given that it may be easier for someone in Ms. Garcia's shoes to claim copyright infringement in Canada in light of performers' neighbouring rights<\/a> and newly enacted moral rights<\/a>, which contemplate the copyright interest of performers in certain circumstances.

<\/p>\n

Although a US decision, the Court\u2019s ruling in this case may have a chilling effect for internet users and content creators worldwide, as the future of online expression and democratic dialogue is dangerously threatened under the notice-and-takedown provisions of the DMCA.
