An offshore company registered in Belize is making a bad name for this country again.
The name is AltusHost; it is an Internet Service Provider Registered at 2236 Albert Hoy Street, in Belize City, with its Corporate Office in Stockholm, Sweden.
According to PC World Magazine, a court in The Hague ruled that AltusHost has to take down 25 domains which are selling counterfeit goods.
The websites include bestwatchonsale.com, cheap-watch.org, breitlingwatches-replica.com and fakewatchesuk.org.
The complaint is brought by Eleven companies, including Chanel, Christian Dior and Omega.
PC World reports that about half of the approximately 6,000 domains hosted by AltusHost fall into the counterfeiting category - a claim which AltusHost flatly refutes.
We note that the same Albert Hoy Street address was also used as an address for another company recently involved in a prohibited phone service called toll bypass.
