Brazil ISP Blocks YouTube After Court Decision on Sex Video

Via Boing Boing.

Following up on an earlier [article] about a court decision in Brazil to "shut down" YouTube over an unathorized celebrity sex video (links to the video file here), Bruno Maestrini says:

"Brasil Telecom, a popular ISP in Brazil has already banned user access to youtube.com. As far as I know all other ISPs are still normal."

"I, as a journalist, have tried to reach Brasil Telecom without any success. The only way I got to talk to them was through customer support, and they told me that the problem was with the company that authenticates my login. That sounds stupid. I have interviewed people from all around Brazil using BrT and none of them could access YouTube, except with a foreign proxy."
