Hello Everyone, Some of the essay/dissertation companies states on their term and conditions that the work the provide is only for research or reference purposes and the student are not allowed to turn it as their own work but they don't say this directly on the websites.
The question is how this will work if the most of the students will submit the work as their own and get markes for it. How the company or the university will find out if the student has exclusive copyrights over the paper.
Thanks Eaaa

I guess all companies should agree submitting a paper by a student who hasn't written it is blatant plagiarism. What students do with the papers - I'm not sure. Nobody but the students really know.

Major, The students provide outlines (approved by their professors) and references so what else they can do themselves if the topic has been completely covered.
But the question is: Who is going to find out and how?

questions for you Alish and other writers,
Do you guys keep copies of the papers you write in order to sell them latter ( e.g for other companies or students)? What action can you take when a student submit what have u written as his or her own work?
thanks

I don't think it's easy to sell a pre-written paper. If a paper is published online, it's of no use as search engines will find it. Quoting: Eaaa, Post #4 What action can you take when a student submit what have u written as his or her own work? If the student paid for the paper, I would assume the writer would have no interest to take any action. Unless the paper was not paid for. On the other hand, some writers may report such student if they realize they submitted the paper as their own and didn't provide appropriate notes about the authorship of the paper. Why do you ask?

That's logical and I think the writer has the right to do so. I am just trying find out how this business works for both sides.
Lest assume the paper resold online was gone already through trunitin software?? It would be risky for the new buyer :0)

If the writer is paid and treated well, s/he won't risk re-selling the paper to third parties (I don't think any serious company would allow that). I think you're right about anti-plagiarism software.

Well since you asked a question regarding the students submitting the work done by the writer as their own, I thought you might be a writer for some company

Hey all,
Consider this question:
When a student gets caught plagiarizing Heart of Darkness, does the student's professor blame Joseph Conrad?

Is my question humorous?
A professor's hypocrisy becomes obvious when one considers the professor's support of a freelance writer's right to sell his or her own work and not be villainized because a nincompoop student decides to plagiarize it, and Joseph Conrad's (or any other author's) right to the same.
