The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment is the leading global coalition dedicated to protecting the legal marketplace and reducing digital piracy. It is a giant made up of many renowned partners in the audiovisual sector (Amazon, Apple TV+, NBCUniversal, Netflix Studios LLC, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Paramount, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Warner Bros) and pirate services often fall practically at daily.
Today their actions touch us very closely, since the closure has occurred in two download websites whose main source of traffic was precisely the consumers of pirated content in our country.
Goodbye to HD-Spain and Pixelados
This new blow from the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment has put an end to two of the most recognized download websites in our country: HD-Spain and Pixelados (the latter is really a tracker that was born after merging HD City and HD Spain), two download services that offered a wide catalog of movies and television shows, with more than 26,000 files that affected many of the ACE members. They had approximately 300,000 visits a month, with almost all of the traffic coming from Spain.
“Thanks to ACE’s rapidly expanding global network and decisive action against illegal piracy operators, the legal market for creative content has never been so well protected,” Jan van Voorn, Director of ACE, said in a statement. . “As we head into 2023, our coalition is better equipped than ever to go after and crack down on pirates who threaten the creative economy.”
ACE puts trackers on target
After some time focusing heavily on pirated IPTV, the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment now seems to have hit the bull’s-eye on download trackers. These are websites closed to the public that you can only access by invitation and that specialize in downloading movies at the highest quality with Dolby Atmos, uncompressed 4K quality, etc. They have a very negative impact on the sale of 4K Blu-ray, so it seems that you want to revive that interest as well.
After this closure, when trying to access the Pixelados website, which as we said unified HD City and HD Spain, or the latter, it can be verified that the closure has been imminent and no longer works, appearing a Cloudfare error message. Surely, in a few hours the classic ACE seizure message will appear, warning of its closure and giving some guidelines on how to legally consume content.
