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]
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]
