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. [3]

Contents

The mission of ACE is to detect, deter, and dismantle piracy [4] , drawing on the anti-piracy resources of the Motion Picture Association (MPA). The organization conducts research [5] into online pirating, lobby law enforcement to stop and sue pirate enterprises, file civil litigations, and to pursue voluntary agreements with responsible parties across the internet ecosystem — such as search engines and broadband providers. [3]

On October 31, 2019, they shut down the streaming providers Openload and Streamango. In December 2020, ACE shut down pirate IPTV service Beast IPTV. [6] In May 2021, ACE shut down and seized the domain of popular streaming site 123movies.la. [7] In July 2023, ACE shut down anime pirate site Zoro.to. [8] In August 2024, ACE shut down FMovies, the largest piracy site in the world at the time. [9] ACE shut down pirate sports streaming site Streameast in September 2025. [10]

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