Pirates are attempting to take over our industry by selling the products that the artists spend days and weeks creating for pennies on the dollar. Then, these same Pirates are the ones that are the loud vocals on the chat rooms. They are hiding behind anonymous identities and screaming about how bad we are to shut down the Pirates. All the while, they are getting rich on your artistic works without paying you anything for those works.

The ESPC is here to protect every member’s artistic work from being taken with out payment to you. Help us fight by finding and eliminating the Pirates and just as important by educating the consumer to buy from a legitimate source and not from someone who produces a counterfeit product.
Lets Stand Together so that our Industry does not Crumble around us because we stood by and did nothing. Take an Active Step to STOP PIRACY TODAY. Together we can make a difference.
