The alliance also said that it “extends its deepest gratitude to Mr. Mulready for his unwavering commitment to combating audiovisual piracy, fostering industry collaboration, and championing innovation in anti-piracy measures. His leadership has been instrumental in driving the alliance’s success and advancing its objectives."
