This is to prevent what in what is looking to be a major illegal commercial software distribution epidemic on the Internet. Since the first release of Hotline, it has attracted illegal software distribution. This illegal distribution has continued to prosper, even after repeated attempts to eliminate it by Hotline Communications. From Feb 7th on, ESSPO will be aimed at eliminating illegal commercial software distribution on Hotline. ESPPO is looking for corporate help in the largest ever Hotline crackdown. Any company who can offer help in any form whatsoever will get special attention from ESSPO agents. Special ESPPO agents will search out cooperating companies' software and shut down any offenders operations. Other ESPPO agents will be assigned to general illegal commercial software distribution.
