Daniela Cicarelli vs YouTube
Brazilian supermodel Daniela Cicarelli said she disagreed with a judge's now-reversed order to ban YouTube in an attempt to stop steamy footage of her from being viewed. But she stopped short of offering an apology.
Thousands of Brazilians who use the popular video-sharing site had launched an e-mail protest against her and suggested a boycott of her television program on Brazilian MTV.
Cicarelli said her boyfriend, Brazilian banker Renato Malzoni, was the one who filed the legal case that resulted in YouTube being shut off until Tuesday.
"I don't have to say I'm sorry about anything because it's not my fault," Cicarelli said in the interview on Brazil's Globo TV on Tuesday night. "I don't have anything to do with that request, nor with the decision."
The order for its removal was issued after they sued last fall and won a ruling that clips of it on YouTube violated their right to privacy.
The ban ended Tuesday, after the judge said he didn't intend for the entire site to be blocked, only the video. Some of the Brazilian companies said it was technically impossible to filter out only the video, so they pulled the plug on YouTube to make sure they were in legal compliance.
