BBC:
An appeals court in San Francisco has ruled that a US-produced film called Innocence of Muslims, which sparked global riots after its release in 2012, should not be banned from YouTube.
A federal court ordered had Google to remove the controversial movie, which mocks the Prophet Muhammad, last year.
Actress Cindy Lee Garcia had said she had received death threats after being tricked into appearing in the film.
Google has said: “We’re pleased with this latest ruling.”
“We have long believed that the previous ruling was a misapplication of copyright law”
But no decision has yet been made over whether to reinstate the film on YouTube.
