Platte Media web sites with interesting addresses

[Andy M]

Interesting set of addresses listed for Platte International / Media's Internet domain names.

Note that there's no legal requirement for anyone to offer up their real addresses when registering domain names.

Platte International Limited is apparently registered to an address in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, though the domain is registered through the UK-based Fasthosts.

Platte Media is also registered to the B.V.I address, and registered with UK-based 123-REG.

GetFilmsNow.com, on the other hand, is operating out of Gibraltar, if we can believe the domain names, though that was also registered with Fasthosts.

Proves a lot, huh?

They are also actively recruiting a PR person, with experience of dealing with forums btw    All still based in Leeds, so I guess that Mr. B and others will still be involved. 

It would be very interesting to find out who are the names listed as directors, company secretary, etc. for the new company to see if there are any duplicates with MBS.

Platte Media's lawyers threatened legal action if this post, which actually stated that the forum administrators DID NOT ADVOCATE NOR WOULD PUBLISH PERSONAL DETAILS OF THE MBS / PLATTE DIRECTORS, was not removed.

Huh?

So, perhaps we SHOULD be publishing their details? Which is it, PM?

[jonlewi5]

ha ha, i may apply, i live by leeds lol j/k


just been doing a little more digging, seems the domain name also has a sub domain associated with it (downloads.plattemedia.com)

unforunatly, it is set to not allow users to request listings of the directory so who knows what they have in there

[Andy M]

Also plattemedia.eu is likely to be theirs, though it currently points to a domain holding page, and whois information is sparse.

Google is trying to index some of those pages already. For example here but I guess non-members don't get very far.

Would imagine this is simply where the movies are served up from.
