Brazil court orders YouTube shut on celeb sex video (Daniela
Spanish Beach Scandal
SAO PAULO, Brazil, Jan 4 (Reuters) - A Brazilian court ordered the popular video sharing service YouTube, a unit of Internet search provider Google Inc. (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile , Research), to be shut down until it removes a celebrity sex video from its site, a judicial clerk said on Thursday.
 On September 18th, 2006 a paparazzo video showing Daniela on a beach in Spain having sex with her boyfriend, the Merrill Lynch employee Renato "Tato" Malzoni. The video clip was leaked on the Internet and uploaded at YouTube, but was deleted that same day. Even after deletion from YouTube the video is still available on various internet websites. Newspapers reported that computer networks crashed at stock markets in Brazil after many users tried to send and download the video Daniela Cicarelli, a model and ex-wife of soccer great Ronaldo, sued YouTube after a video of her apparently having sex in shallow water on a beach with her boyfriend was posted to the site.
The famous video of Brazilian MTV presenter Daniela Cicarelli (Ronaldo Phenomenon’s ex-wife) having ‘fun’ with her new boyfriend Tato Malzoni at the beach in Spain was definitely the hottest news in Brazil this week.
The paparazzo Miguel Temprano, who shot the video, said in an interview that he was only a few meters away from the hot couple and they seemed not to bother with his presence nor with all the people that were walking around.
The romantic duo spent 3 endless minutes (for Temprano, of course!) in the water. Now Cicarelli has been seen as the brazilian version of Paris Hilton. For days it was the most viewed video in Brazil.
Cicarelli and boyfriend Tato Malzoni filed to force YouTube to take the video down and demanded $116,000 in damages for each day the video remains up. Some copies of the video have been taken off the site but users have reposted it.
 Daniela Cicarelli is one of the hottest women in the world, formerly married to soccer star Maradona. The boyfriend is Renato Malzoni Filho.
Interesting that this video is banned on YouTube, but not on Google, and Google owns YouTube now. Go figure. The case dragged on for several months before they filed a third suit in December requesting that YouTube be shut down as long as the video is available to users.
Daniela Cicarelli has been a model since age 12 and won the Elite national competition at 14. She attracted attention in Brazil in early 2001 due to a Pepsi TV commercial and became very well known. In 2003 she began hosting a summer show for MTV Brasil, working in other shows on that channel since then. In 2003 Daniela started dating football player Ronaldo and this made her widely known in Spain as well, leading her to command fees ten times higher for appearing at fashion events. The court honored that request on Wednesday, but legal experts say the ruling by the Brazilian court could be difficult to enforce in the United States, where YouTube is based.
Last year, a Brazilian court demanded Google disclose data on local users of its social networking site Orkut who had pages with content supporting racism or child pornography.
This video was leaked on the internet on September 18th and was uploaded on YouTube, but was very soon deleted that same day. Google took down some of those Orkut pages but has said that under U.S. law it could not reveal user data.
Google was not immediately available for comment on Thursday.
