Atomohd was launched in 2020 by a group of individuals, some of whom had previous convictions in Spain for infringement of intellectual property and, to avoid justice, they fled Andorra.

The service allowed users to transmit and download illegally content from a VOD library More than 13,000 films and 4,500 series Television in Spanish and other languages. The pirated contents affect all the members of ACE.
