Per Professor Bambauer's proposal at our revenge porn event, the 9th circuit released this very helpful opinion:
Brief: Extra received death threats for her scene in a film that ended up being an anti-Islam piece (the scene was for a different film originally). The extra issued takedown notices to Google, but Google refused. The district court denied the preliminary injunction because there was no copyright infringement (i.e., no likelihood of success on the merits).
The 9th Circuit reversed the district court's decision to deny a preliminary injunction because the extra had a "copyright interest" in the work (not quite a "joint authorship"), in the form of her acting. In turn, the content had to be taken down.
