AP is reporting that a judge has ordered YouTube to find a way to block a video from access in Brazil. YouTube was first ordered in September to remove the video showing Daniela Cicarelli in intimate scenes along a beach. The clip still appears periodically on YouTube, prompting the expanded order to block access. The case now goes automatically to a three-member panel of judges who will decide whether to make the order permanent and whether to fine YouTube as much as $119,000 for each day that the video was viewable.
