Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment explained

Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment
Abbreviation:ACE
Purpose:Combating copyright infringement and online piracy
Region:Worldwide

Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) is a coalition[1] of more than 50 major global entertainment companies and film studios,[2] aimed at reducing online piracy of copyrighted material.[3] ACE was launched on June 13, 2017.

The stated mission of ACE is to prevent piracy, drawing on the anti-piracy resources of the Motion Picture Association (MPA). The organization plans to conduct research into online pirating, lobby law enforcement to stop and sue pirate enterprises, file sweeping civil litigations, and to "pursue voluntary agreements with responsible parties across the internet ecosystem" — such as search engines and broadband providers.

On October 31, 2019, they shut down the streaming providers Openload and Streamango. In December 2020, ACE shut down pirate IPTV service Beast IPTV.[4] In May 2021, ACE shut down and seized the domain of popular streaming site 123movies.la.[5] In July 2023, ACE shut down Zoro.to, the world's largest anime pirate site.

The organization promotes itself as marking a new level of coordination among multiple stakeholders.[3]
