The stated mission of ACE is to prevent piracy, drawing on the anti-piracy resources of the Motion Picture Association (MPA). The organization plans to conduct research into online pirating, lobby law enforcement to stop and sue pirate enterprises, file sweeping civil litigations, and to "pursue voluntary agreements with responsible parties across the internet ecosystem" — such as search engines and broadband providers.

On October 31, 2019, they shut down the streaming providers Openload and Streamango. In December 2020, ACE shut down pirate IPTV service Beast IPTV.{{Cite web |title=Beast IPTV Shut Down By Alliance For Creativity and Entertainment * TorrentFreak |url=https://torrentfreak.com/beast-iptv-shut-down-by-alliance-for-creativity-and-entertainment-201228/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |language=en |archive-date=2024-01-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240110182615/https://torrentfreak.com/beast-iptv-shut-down-by-alliance-for-creativity-and-entertainment-201228/ |url-status=live }} In May 2021, ACE shut down and seized the domain of popular streaming site 123movies.la.{{Cite web |title=123Movies.la Shut Down By Alliance For Creativity and Entertainment * TorrentFreak |url=https://torrentfreak.com/123movies-la-shut-down-by-alliance-for-creativity-and-entertainment-210510/ |access-date=2024-01-10 |language=en |archive-date=2024-01-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240110031334/https://torrentfreak.com/123movies-la-shut-down-by-alliance-for-creativity-and-entertainment-210510/ |url-status=live }} In July 2023, ACE shut down Zoro.to, the world's largest anime pirate site.
