Brazilian court tells YouTube to remove celebrity sex video

A BRAZILIAN court has ordered the popular video sharing service YouTube to be shut down until it removes a celebrity sex video from its site.

Daniela Cicarelli, a model and ex-wife of soccer great Ronaldo, sued YouTube after a video of her apparently having sex on a beach was posted to the site.

Cicarelli and boyfriend Tato Malzoni — who also appears in the video — demanded that YouTube take it down and pay them $116,000 in damages for each day the video remains online, in a case which has dragged on for months.
