An international anti-piracy coalition led by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) disrupted the AnimePlay anime streaming platform, which allegedly served over 5 million registered users predominantly in Indonesia. ACE seized control of the platform’s infrastructure, including the application, 15 associated domains, backend code repositories, hosting environments, and related digital assets, rendering the service inoperable. The takedown included over 60 terabytes of infringing anime content and the surrender of backend systems, advertising tools, and 29 GitHub repositories containing full source code by the platform’s operator. The action follows ACE’s recent dismantling of Photocall, a piracy platform with 26 million annual users, and reflects ongoing global enforcement against large-scale illegal streaming services.
