Massive IPTV piracy service with 28,000 channels taken offline.

Rare Breed TV, one of the largest providers of illegal IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) services in the US, was recently shut down following confirmation of a financial agreement between the service operators and the ACE (Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment). The announcement took loyal users of the site by surprise, although the site did offer a paid subscription system for a brief time following the ACE announcement.

The extensive catalog collected and made available over the years on the Rare Breed TV platform, containing approximately 28,000 channels and more than 100,000 movies and TV series, would be the envy of anyone. Anyone, except the original owners of the various content. The investigation conducted by ACE identified the operators of this illicit media empire, located in North Carolina.

The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, a coalition of more than 50 companies, businesses, and enterprises in the entertainment and media industry from around the world, was created specifically to report and shut down illegal online streaming systems.
