The popular streaming platform Vumoo.to has been shut down by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), a prominent anti-piracy coalition. Since its launch in 2016, Vumoo.to had amassed a large following, making it a favored streaming destination. However, ACE has successfully taken action against Vumoo.to, particularly targeting piracy in Vietnam, leading to the closure of this widely-used site.
Vietnam has been known for hosting various piracy sites, prompting ACE to concentrate on combating this issue. Despite previous efforts to address piracy in Vietnam, sites like Vumoo.to persisted in attracting daily visitors worldwide. ACE’s focus on Vumoo.to was due to its high volume of user traffic and extensive content library available for streaming without proper copyright consent.
Recent updates to Vumoo.to’s nameservers, indicating ACE intervention, included changes to ns3.films.org and ns4.films.org. Visitors to the website now encounter a notification confirming the shutdown:
This move by ACE significantly impacts the streaming industry and underscores its dedication to safeguarding intellectual property rights. Yet, the long-term consequences of this shutdown remain uncertain, as previous closures in Vietnam have sometimes led to sites reappearing under different management or replicated versions.
ACE has a history of dismantling pirate streaming sites, often involving law enforcement agencies in the process.

- Cuevana3 Shut Down by ACE
- HDFilme & xCine Removed by Alliance for Creativity & Entertainment
In this instance, it appears that the operators of Vumoo voluntarily ceased operations after cooperating with the anti-piracy coalition.
While the specific methodology employed by ACE to locate Vumoo.to’s operator has not been disclosed, it is evident that ACE has been amassing data for years to support their enforcement endeavors. Legal actions like subpoenas likely provided ACE with valuable insights from Tonic domain registry and Cloudflare, aiding in the takedown process.
Despite the success in shutting down Vumoo.to, it remains unclear if the closure is permanent. History shows that previous takedowns in Vietnam have led to sites resurfacing under new management or as duplicates. The future of Vumoo.to is uncertain and only time will reveal its fate.
