Model wants to sue YouTube

Brazilian model Daniela Cicarelli, who became famous worldwide after her short marriage to soccer star Ronaldo, informed through her lawyers that she will sue websites that posted a video of herself and her boyfriend caressing each other on a Spanish beach. The video, which includes strong scenes of the couple, was originally shot by a Spanish photographer who then posted it on YouTube, where it quickly reached more than 50,000 views. The website quickly removed the video, but it was reposted several times in the following days in the same site, as well as other pages in Brazilian websites. This week, coincidentially or not, the model had two major contracts cancelled, with mobile operator Tim and auto-maker General Motors. The companies say the video incident was not related to the cancellation of the contracts.
