SANTIAGO, CHILE – After a successful cease and desist communication with the operators of Cuevana in Santiago, the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) today announced the official transfer of 30 domains previously used by Cuevana.
In January 2021, these 30 domains received over seven million visits, making Cuevana one of the most popular illegal streaming websites in LATAM.
The recent police raids and convictions in Latin America against the operators of this illegal streaming service – and the connection to other crimes associated with copyright infringement, including money laundering – serve as an important warning for illegal operators in the region who continue to violate the rights of ACE’s members.
“The theft of online content is the single greatest threat to the global audiovisual community, harming both local and foreign films and businesses, threatening jobs, undermining investment, reducing tax contributions to governments, and stifling creativity.” said Jan van Voorn, Executive Vice President and Chief of Global Content Protection for the Motion Picture Association. “We are grateful for our law enforcement partners throughout Latin America who are consistently working to punish those responsible for the theft of creative content.”
All Cuevana domains now officially redirect to the “Watch It Legally” page on the ACE website at www.alliance4creativity.com/where-to-watch/.
