Hell, I didn't even know who Erin Andrews is, not having watched ESPN in a while. But there are already reports of this video being posted at URLs with trojans attached, as is usually the case with this sort of thing. And assuming this is legit, you are perpetuating a crime by linking the video - which I won't do.
"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin's privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities."
Thank you, Dan.

Dan, thanks for your ethical stand on this. Getting lots of hits at the expense of your own credibility and moral standing is a fool's errand. This Rule 5 crap has bothered me for some time.
