Brazilian model Daniela Cicarelli was criticized for bringing about a YouTube Ban in her home country and trying fruitlessly to stop the spread of a potentially career-enhancing “sex tape”

Cicarelli appeared on Brazilian TV last night, and in newspapers today, pointing out that she opposed the judge’s YouTube ban (which has since been reversed) and that it was her boyfriend, Brazilian banker Renato Malzoni, who filed the lawsuit that resulted in YouTube being blocked until Tuesday.

Both Cicarelli and those behind her TV show have good reasons to avoid the blame - YouTube is massively popular in Brazil (and everywhere else), and thousands of Brazilians had launched an e-mail protest against her and demanded a boycott of her program on Brazilian MTV.

Increasingly, it seems that the technologically challenged judge was to blame: he ordered Brazilian Internet providers to block access to the YouTube clip, but didn’t realize that the ISPs couldn’t comply unless they blocked the whole site. YouTube was blocked for about four days by the leading Brazilian ISP." Source

A Brazilian judge has ordered YouTube to shut down after a video showing Daniela Cicarelli, model and ex-wife of Ronaldo, having sex appeared on the site.

The video shows Daniela hanging out with boyfriend Renato Tato Malzoni on a beach and then having sex in shallow waters.

Earlier the video jammed Brazillian networks after it was passed around on email.

Daniella Cicarelli, nice!
