About Us
The purpose of the Embroidery Software Protection Coalition (ESPC) is to promote a safe and legitimate embroidery design and software world. For all consumers to purchase from a legitimate source and to not purchase counterfeit designs and software.
The ESPC is the voice of the manufacturers of embroidery design and software. The ESPC actions are similar to that of the movie, music and business software industries. We work to protect the rights of our members’ copyrighted works and to educate consumers on protecting copyrights. We also participate in and support the investigation of counterfeit and pirated designs and software.
You can not turn on the television or pick up a newspaper without reading about the pirating of movies, music and business software, yet the pirating of embroidery designs and software is just as prominent and causing major financial distress to the embroidery designs and software industries.
The ESPC targets those persons whom violate our member’s copyrights - both sellers and purchasers. We have a team of investigators and attorneys fighting to combat the piracy and counterfeiting of legitimate embroidery designs and software through differing programs and litigation in federal courts through out the United States.
We educate consumers to purchase legitimate embroidery designs and software and not to purchase counterfeit in order to enable the artists, digitizers and manufacturers to bring new and exciting products to the marketplace.
