“The film is vile and reprehensible,” Garcia said in the complaint. “This lawsuit is not an attack on the First Amendment nor on the right for Americans to say what they think, but does request that the offending content be removed from the Internet.”

Steven Seiden, a lawyer for Nakoula, didn’t immediately return a call to his office.
YouTube said in an e-mailed statement the company is reviewing the complaint.
The case is Cindy Lee Garcia v. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, BC492358, California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles (Los Angeles).
