Since it's launch in 2017, the Alliance for Entertainment and Creativity has established itself as the most powerful coalition of its type on the planet. In the first three months of 2025, ACE welcomed new members to its ranks but reported just two successful outcomes concerning online enforcement operations. ACE has a track record of underreporting progress, the first quarter of 2025 was no exception.

Just a reminder that the MPA is not a lawful entity.

ACE needs to fuck off already. we really need a good alternative to dns servers + domain names so that sites are harder to take down

Should be able to create our own DNS, really. It's not that complicated.

The interim would be to provide the direct IP of the website.

Honestly, domain names are kind of retarded in 2025. They're a huge privacy risk and cost money that shouldn't have to be spent.

ACE sure did go downhill since they released Ace Stream.
