Brazilian Court Orders YouTube to be Shut Down

A Brazillian court has ordered YouTube to be shut down due to the company's failure to prevent a celebrity sex video from being posted over and over again. The celebrity, Daniela Cicarelli, and her boyfriend Tato Malzoni sued YouTube after being notified that a video of the two having sex on a beach was being repeatedly posted on YouTube.

Initially, the couple demanded that YouTube take the video down and pay them $116,000 for each day that the video remained up. The case has dragged on for several months. In December, they filed another suit asking that the site be shut down until the video is removed. On Wednesday, the court honored that request. However, due to the fact that YouTube is based out of the United States, such a ruling would prove difficult to enforce.
