Wordpress Banned in Brazil! What the Heck

I was shocked to go through a news feed mentioning that Wordpress.com is banned in Brazil, just because judge in Brazil ruling against a WordPress.com blogger featuring a YouTube video embedded in the blog of a couple having sex. Thats so sick to hear!

The reason is a court order issued in March which stipulates the prohibition of access to a particular blog, hosted on Wordpress. The blog’s name and the reason for the ban have not been disclosed. The problem is that, according to Abranet [Brazilian Association of Internet Service Providers], in order for this decision to be carried out, they would need to block the entire wordpress.com domain (it is not possible to prevent access to a single blog, since the entire domain shares the same IP). Blogs based on Wordpress, but hosted under different addresses, would not be affected by the ban.
