[A2k] YouTube "reopened" in Brazil

[Omar Kaminski]

Uptade: the decision was suspended today.

Now the telecom companies must inform to the Court the technical reasons, if
avaliable or existent, to not block the links or URLs which give acess to
the video sub judice.

Further details soon.

Regards from BR,

Omar Kaminski
