People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s.

Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population.

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

Riley’s plates had expired tags and he was driving with a suspended license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of searching his car, the police found two concealed and loaded handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley was placed under arrest and the officer took a Samsung smartphone from his pocket. That phone — and everything stored on it — was later searched by the police without a warrant. The contents of the phone were used to connect Riley to gang activity, leading to several charges, including attempted murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.stanford.edu/profile/jeffrey-l-fisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford Law Professor Jeff Fisher\u003c/a>, who is Riley’s attorney, explains that police “found photographs and videos of Mr. Riley near a red car — a car that had been involved in an altercation where shots were fired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His conviction and the warrantless phone search were later upheld by the California Supreme Court, which had previously ruled that such searches are constitutional. Now Riley is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that such searches violate the Fourth Amendment’s ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The case will be heard Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/146960041&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives,” Fisher says. “Our work, our personal life, our banking, our medical records — all the way down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Riley-cert-petition-final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brief to the Supreme Court\u003c/a>, the government contends the Fourth Amendment \u003cem>allows\u003c/em> the search of objects found on someone arrested, including a cellphone.

Richard Littlehale represents the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ascia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies\u003c/a>, part of a consortium of groups asking the court to uphold these searches. Littlehale says that in the future more and more evidence is going to be found in digital formats. Unless police are allowed to immediately search a smartphone, he says, evidence could be lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get out there more and explain why we need these records and make our case to the courts and make our case to the public that this evidence is important in our quest to protect them,” Littlehale says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates say the fear of losing potential evidence is overblown, arguing that there are ways to preserve the information on cellphones until the police have a search warrant. They argue that the amount and sensitivity of information stored on cellphones require a higher level of privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/riley-v-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riley v. California\u003c/a>, the Supreme Court on Tuesday will also hear a second case, \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/11-1792P-01A.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. v. Wurie\u003c/a>, arising from a 2007 Boston case in which police searched the call log of a flip phone, leading to gun and drug charges. Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that evidence was obtained illegally, the opposite finding to the California case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pervasiveness of mobile phones — nine out of 10 adults in the U.S. have cellphones — make these cases the most important in the Supreme Court’s criminal docket this term, according to UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cases have been sort of brewing for years,” Little says. “How’s the Fourth Amendment going to be applied in the 21st century when the framers had no conception of any of the technology that we now have to deal with?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some issues, Little says, this one may not break along the usual liberal-conservative lines. For example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia often expresses concern about law enforcement’s encroachment on personal privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Little says, the court may not issue a sweeping decision. “My prediction is they will move incrementally. They won’t decide a case which then decides every issue for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Scott Shafer’s interview with UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little and San Jose Mercury News Reporter Michelle Quinn, on “KQED Newsroom.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hEaiqvOutk&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/a> is a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

Riley’s plates had expired tags and he was driving with a suspended license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of searching his car, the police found two concealed and loaded handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley was placed under arrest and the officer took a Samsung smartphone from his pocket. That phone — and everything stored on it — was later searched by the police without a warrant. The contents of the phone were used to connect Riley to gang activity, leading to several charges, including attempted murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.stanford.edu/profile/jeffrey-l-fisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford Law Professor Jeff Fisher\u003c/a>, who is Riley’s attorney, explains that police “found photographs and videos of Mr. Riley near a red car — a car that had been involved in an altercation where shots were fired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His conviction and the warrantless phone search were later upheld by the California Supreme Court, which had previously ruled that such searches are constitutional. Now Riley is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that such searches violate the Fourth Amendment’s ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The case will be heard Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/146960041&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives,” Fisher says. “Our work, our personal life, our banking, our medical records — all the way down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Riley-cert-petition-final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brief to the Supreme Court\u003c/a>, the government contends the Fourth Amendment \u003cem>allows\u003c/em> the search of objects found on someone arrested, including a cellphone. That information, they argue, “is not different in kind from wallets, address books, personal papers and other items that have long been subject to examination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives.’\u003ccite>— Professor Jeff Fisher\u003cbr>\nStanford Law School\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement groups agree. Richard Littlehale represents the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ascia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies\u003c/a>, part of a consortium of groups asking the court to uphold these searches. Littlehale says that in the future more and more evidence is going to be found in digital formats. Unless police are allowed to immediately search a smartphone, he says, evidence could be lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get out there more and explain why we need these records and make our case to the courts and make our case to the public that this evidence is important in our quest to protect them,” Littlehale says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates say the fear of losing potential evidence is overblown, arguing that there are ways to preserve the information on cellphones until the police have a search warrant. They argue that the amount and sensitivity of information stored on cellphones require a higher level of privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/riley-v-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riley v. California\u003c/a>, the Supreme Court on Tuesday will also hear a second case, \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/11-1792P-01A.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. v. Wurie\u003c/a>, arising from a 2007 Boston case in which police searched the call log of a flip phone, leading to gun and drug charges. Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that evidence was obtained illegally, the opposite finding to the California case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pervasiveness of mobile phones — nine out of 10 adults in the U.S. have cellphones — make these cases the most important in the Supreme Court’s criminal docket this term, according to UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cases have been sort of brewing for years,” Little says. “How’s the Fourth Amendment going to be applied in the 21st century when the framers had no conception of any of the technology that we now have to deal with?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some issues, Little says, this one may not break along the usual liberal-conservative lines. For example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia often expresses concern about law enforcement’s encroachment on personal privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Little says, the court may not issue a sweeping decision. “My prediction is they will move incrementally. They won’t decide a case which then decides every issue for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Scott Shafer’s interview with UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little and San Jose Mercury News Reporter Michelle Quinn, on “KQED Newsroom.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4hEaiqvOutk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4hEaiqvOutk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Google makes money off its maps from advertising, so the Mountain View company is constantly coming up with new attractions to keep people coming back.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Even though the photos date back only to 2007, some of them illustrate dramatic changes. Some photos show how neighborhoods in cities like Tohoku, Japan, looked before and after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck in March 2011. Others show the gradual recovery of New Orleans neighborhoods in the years following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Scrolling over to Washington, D.C., will provide a look at the restoration of the historic Howard Theatre in the nation's capital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In New York, the Street View map presents a string of photos illustrating the changing skyline as the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center was built. Even looking at the evolution of Times Square during the past seven years can evoke nostalgic feelings while gazing at a giant billboard advertising a flip-style cellphone in 2007.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The visual retrospectives aren't available throughout Google's maps, although Shet says there should be at least one look back in time for just about every neighborhood that can be viewed through the Street View format.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Google's new feature is displaying more photos of major city centers over time than suburban streets because the company's camera-bearing cars return to densely populated areas more frequently.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Adding the photos from the past will roughly double the total imagery in Street View once the rollout is completed in the next two days. Google declined to say how many pictures are already in Street View, which spans 55 countries. The look-back feature will be available in all but three of those countries: Germany and Switzerland, where government regulations restrict Google's use of the past images, and South Africa, where technical problems have slowed the feature's rollout.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When a retrospective is available in Street View, a small clock appears in the left corner of the current picture of a location. Clicking on the clock produces a visual portal into different time periods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The trips can be emotional. For instance, Street View's scenes often include people who happened to be in the frame when Google's cars took the picture.

Google makes money off its maps from advertising, so the Mountain View company is constantly coming up with new attractions to keep people coming back.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Even though the photos date back only to 2007, some of them illustrate dramatic changes. Some photos show how neighborhoods in cities like Tohoku, Japan, looked before and after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck in March 2011. Others show the gradual recovery of New Orleans neighborhoods in the years following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Scrolling over to Washington, D.C., will provide a look at the restoration of the historic Howard Theatre in the nation's capital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In New York, the Street View map presents a string of photos illustrating the changing skyline as the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center was built. Even looking at the evolution of Times Square during the past seven years can evoke nostalgic feelings while gazing at a giant billboard advertising a flip-style cellphone in 2007.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The visual retrospectives aren't available throughout Google's maps, although Shet says there should be at least one look back in time for just about every neighborhood that can be viewed through the Street View format.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Google's new feature is displaying more photos of major city centers over time than suburban streets because the company's camera-bearing cars return to densely populated areas more frequently.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Adding the photos from the past will roughly double the total imagery in Street View once the rollout is completed in the next two days. Google declined to say how many pictures are already in Street View, which spans 55 countries. The look-back feature will be available in all but three of those countries: Germany and Switzerland, where government regulations restrict Google's use of the past images, and South Africa, where technical problems have slowed the feature's rollout.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When a retrospective is available in Street View, a small clock appears in the left corner of the current picture of a location. Clicking on the clock produces a visual portal into different time periods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The trips can be emotional. For instance, Street View's scenes often include people who happened to be in the frame when Google's cars took the picture. Over time, some of these people will die and Google expects those pictures will have special meaning for survivors and other descendants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Some Street View pictures posted through the years have also upset people who were captured in activities or visiting places that they wanted to keep private. Google now blurs the images of people who contact the company asking to be shielded from Street View. Masking will be available on the older photos too, Shet said, even if it's just because a person didn't like the way he or she looked a few years ago.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Actress Garcia had a five-second appearance in the video, and said she agreed to act in it under the premise that it was a \"desert adventure\" movie trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1662&context=historical\">brief\u003c/a> filed by her lawyer, Garcia said that the producer, Mark Basseley Youssef, had dubbed over her words to make it seem like she called the prophet a pedophile. She was not aware of the changes made to her performance until she received calls from reporters about the controversy ignited by the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said she lost her job and has received death threats due to her role in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As word of the video spread around the world in the summer and fall of 2012, demonstrations and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_Innocence_of_Muslims\">violent protests\u003c/a> broke out in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some Western countries. The protests led to hundreds of injuries and more than 50 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 11 that year, a group of local Islamist militants launched a brutal attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Christopher_Stevens\">J. Christopher Stevens\u003c/a>. “Innocence of Muslims” was cited in national political debates as a possible factor in the Benghazi attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After unsuccessful attempts to have Google remove the video from YouTube, Garcia and her lawyer, Cris Armenta, applied for a copyright to her performance. Reuters reported the response of the U.S. Copyright Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For copyright registration purposes, a motion picture is a single integrated work. Assuming Ms. Garcia's contribution was limited to her acting performance, we cannot register her performance apart from the motion picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sued Google, claiming a copyright to her brief appearance, and hoping to win on the grounds that said copyright was violated when her performance was used in a way she didn't intend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Internet and copyright law experts nationwide have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Contrary to a district court’s earlier ruling and\u003cem> \u003c/em>the Copyright Office’s decision, two of the three judges on the appellate panel ruled on Garcia’s side, granting her claim on the basis that the producer, Youssef, had violated any license he had with Garcia’s performance when he lied about the nature of the video, leading to real threats against her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Content of Video 'Beside the Point'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University, and a co-author of one of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Internet%20Law%20Professors.pdf\">amicus briefs\u003c/a> filed this week, the content of the video is actually beside the point. He said the crux of the ruling is copyright law, and the February ruling establishes a troubling precedent affecting almost all filmmakers and video content creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman outlines the following scenario: An actor agrees to appear in a film, but later decides he doesn't like how his performance turned out, or that his vision differs from the producer's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this ruling, an actor could theoretically override the production (i.e., a film) by requiring his performance (no matter how brief) be removed, potentially rendering the production entirely impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This same power could theoretically lie in the hands of anyone depicted in a user-generated video on YouTube. And the extra work required by producers to eliminate these types of conflicts could ultimately result in higher costs for media consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet and copyright law experts nationwide, including Goldman, have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman said that copyright law should never have been brought into this case at all. Garcia’s concerns would typically have been taken up with the video’s producer, Youssef. Since Youssef was an absentee in the case, Google was forced to step in on his behalf -- another flaw with the case, as Google was not affiliated with production of the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the 11 judges of the 9th Circuit are reviewing Google’s request and have until May 7 to announce whether they will hear the case again.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Actress Garcia had a five-second appearance in the video, and said she agreed to act in it under the premise that it was a \"desert adventure\" movie trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1662&context=historical\">brief\u003c/a> filed by her lawyer, Garcia said that the producer, Mark Basseley Youssef, had dubbed over her words to make it seem like she called the prophet a pedophile. She was not aware of the changes made to her performance until she received calls from reporters about the controversy ignited by the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said she lost her job and has received death threats due to her role in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As word of the video spread around the world in the summer and fall of 2012, demonstrations and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_Innocence_of_Muslims\">violent protests\u003c/a> broke out in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some Western countries. The protests led to hundreds of injuries and more than 50 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 11 that year, a group of local Islamist militants launched a brutal attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Christopher_Stevens\">J. Christopher Stevens\u003c/a>. “Innocence of Muslims” was cited in national political debates as a possible factor in the Benghazi attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After unsuccessful attempts to have Google remove the video from YouTube, Garcia and her lawyer, Cris Armenta, applied for a copyright to her performance. Reuters reported the response of the U.S. Copyright Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For copyright registration purposes, a motion picture is a single integrated work. Assuming Ms. Garcia's contribution was limited to her acting performance, we cannot register her performance apart from the motion picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sued Google, claiming a copyright to her brief appearance, and hoping to win on the grounds that said copyright was violated when her performance was used in a way she didn't intend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Internet and copyright law experts nationwide have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Contrary to a district court’s earlier ruling and\u003cem> \u003c/em>the Copyright Office’s decision, two of the three judges on the appellate panel ruled on Garcia’s side, granting her claim on the basis that the producer, Youssef, had violated any license he had with Garcia’s performance when he lied about the nature of the video, leading to real threats against her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Content of Video 'Beside the Point'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University, and a co-author of one of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Internet%20Law%20Professors.pdf\">amicus briefs\u003c/a> filed this week, the content of the video is actually beside the point. He said the crux of the ruling is copyright law, and the February ruling establishes a troubling precedent affecting almost all filmmakers and video content creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman outlines the following scenario: An actor agrees to appear in a film, but later decides he doesn't like how his performance turned out, or that his vision differs from the producer's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this ruling, an actor could theoretically override the production (i.e., a film) by requiring his performance (no matter how brief) be removed, potentially rendering the production entirely impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This same power could theoretically lie in the hands of anyone depicted in a user-generated video on YouTube. And the extra work required by producers to eliminate these types of conflicts could ultimately result in higher costs for media consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet and copyright law experts nationwide, including Goldman, have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman said that copyright law should never have been brought into this case at all. Garcia’s concerns would typically have been taken up with the video’s producer, Youssef. Since Youssef was an absentee in the case, Google was forced to step in on his behalf -- another flaw with the case, as Google was not affiliated with production of the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
