At ACE’s recent Global Meeting in Beverly Hills, one theme came through loud and clear: Momentum.
From APAC to EMEA, North America to LATAM, our industry coalition shared stories and insights of impact — raids, arrests, site seizures, disclosure orders, litigation wins, and unprecedented collaboration. The fight against is coordinated, relentless, and gaining strength every day.
Our expert panels reflected this progress. We examined the explosion of live sports piracy and how major takedowns are reshaping the playing field. We looked at source piracy — from rippers to cammers — and how the MPA’s 360-Strong enforcement approach protects the industry’s content. We highlighted our partnerships with intermediaries, trade associations, and law enforcement that give ACE its unique global reach.
And the results speak for themselves:
- Streameast: The world’s largest live sports piracy network, dismantled after years of siphoning value from leagues, broadcasters, athletes, and fans.
- IPTV66: A sprawling IPTV operation across Latin America, generating millions in cryptocurrency, dismantled through coordination with law enforcement in the Dominican Republic.
- INWIPTV: A decade-old IPTV service finally shut down thanks to decisive enforcement by Thai authorities and support from ACE.
These victories mean stronger creative economies, fairer competition, and safer choices for consumers. They show that when we come together, we can take down even the most entrenched piracy networks.
As someone who has spent her career in law enforcement and content protection, I know that progress is never guaranteed. But I left our Global Meeting more confident than ever. The global coalition we have built is unlike any in the world. It is diverse, determined, and willing to adapt at the pace of piracy itself.
To every ACE partner, member, and ally: thank you for fueling this momentum. Together, we are proving that piracy can be deterred, dismantled, and defeated. And together, we will continue to raise the bar for what is possible.
