It is one of the most ubiquitous labels in the world, and perhaps no company understands those implications better than Louis Vuitton. Last Friday, a California district court jury awarded $32.4 million in damages to Vuitton as part of a 2007 suit the Paris luxury maker brought against Akanoc Solutions, an Internet hosting company based in California.

Vuitton argued that Akanoc should have known that various sites were selling counterfeit LV merchandise. Last year, in a French court, Vuitton won a $63 million judgment against eBay for its role in selling LV fakes. The online auctioneer has said it tries to police counterfeits and remove them from the site. It sounds as though juries do not think that is enough.
