YouTube is surely the most popular video sharing service, allowing you to publish your movies and share them with other members of the community. Last year, the video solution was acquired by Google, one of the largest online companies on the internet. Besides YouTube, the search giant owns one more video service, Google Video, that is similar with the new product. Since the Google acquisition, the service was improved several times to become even more powerful. The company introduced a new feature called TestTube, inspired by Google Base, a platform that is meant to test all the new functions before they will be released in the final version.

So, it's obvious that Google wants to make YouTube the leader in the online video sharing category, even if its rivals already announced powerful solutions to be released. Although Google's intentions are really to be appreciated, YouTube's functionality caused only problems for the giant search engine. Since the acquisition, multiple companies or persons filed lawsuits against Google, saying that their rights were infringed. The last federal complaint filled against Google concerns Daniela Cicarelli, Ronaldo's ex-wife that sued the company for publishing a video with the Brazilian star having sex with her boyfriend.

Last week, a Brazilian judge said that YouTube Brazil must be closed until the company removes all the videos with Daniela Cicarelli. Even if Google said that they removed the movies several times but the users uploaded it again, multiple Brazilian users reported that the service was unavailable, being blocked by the largest ISP in the country.

Today, a Brazilian judge said that the YouTube Brazil ban was revoked because the company removed all the movies with the Brazilian model. "Judge Enio Santarelli Zuliana said in a statement that access to YouTube was freed up days after a court order to block the website in Brazil following Cicarelli's suit over the video. The video clip shows Cicarelli, the ex-wife of Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo, and boyfriend Renato Malzoni in a passionate sequence on the beach at Cadiz and in the water," according to SawfNews.
