Echelon (warez)

Echelon is a warez group which specializes in the illegal release and distribution of copyrighted console games, such as Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 ISO images.

Between September 4, 2000, and April 30, 2002, Echelon's Dreamcast division released 188 game titles and 34 other various fixes, tutorials, trainers, and loaders.

In 2004, Echelon was named as one of six groups targeted as part of Operation Fastlink by the United States Department of Justice.

It featured larger, easier-to-read text, quick scrolling through files, additional VMU functionality, and added stability.
