This is a genuine question. Why do offshore companies incorporate in the UK or US? By doing so they are bound by the respective laws of these two countries (consumer protection, etc etc). Offshore incorporation, which one would assume much easier for them, protects them from all that. So ... why do they go out of their way to incorporate in the UK/US?

This is other way round.... UK and US companies (other than home based so called legit paper mills like yours) have started to incorporate themselves in other countries in order to save costs for themselves. I m sure you must have heard the words like greenfield projects, frenchising, licensing, joint ventures etc etc.... As for as laws are concerned, let me tell you a secret, consumer protection and blah blah is just a myth.. a pure myth... an occasional goodwill gesture from companies other than that it is nothing..... Firms even manuplate Tax laws to evade or rather save taxes for themselves.......
OOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSSS I share with you some of the dirty secrets of how the businesses are run......

By incorporating in the UK or US those availing themselves of their services assume the company to be bona fide because it is incorporated within these countries. This is particularly important with essay writing companies, as they are trying to persuade the customer that because they are incorporated in that country ALL or the VAST MAJORITY of their writers must also originate from that country.
Essay writing companies do not fear consumer protection laws because very few students are likely to avail themselves of protection under these laws for fear of being exposed. Also, a point made by another poster in a different thread, the companies can hide behind the disclaimer that the work should only be used for research purposes. Anyone who submits a paper written by someone else as thier own, really has no protection, as the intention of the essay was supposedly for research purposes. This is why there have never been any claims brought against these companies.

I was wondering about this. I remember reading once that consumer protection is virtually non-existent for certain ephemeral goods, i.e. things that aren't really physically there. An essay, e-mailed to a client, might come under this heading. If anyone knows the legal situation (rather than is just guessing), it'd be interesting to get some clarification.

Indeed, sellers' "virtual goods" are not insured by most online payment processors, including PayPal. This is because, in the event that a customer claims to have not received the product, the merchant is unable to provide "tracking information" to prove that he/she actually shipped the product.

I see!!! Very very interesting. And one can assume that some clients take advantage of this?

Righto!
It's important to note that consumers are nearly as vulnerable, as the "quality" of a virtual good cannot be qualified or substantiated to or by a third-party payment processor. This is where fraudulent companies that knowingly employ horrible writers take advantage. When a customer complains to the credit card company about the "poor quality" of a paper (after the ripoff site refuses to issue a refund voluntarily), the credit card company declines to reverse the charge because reps at the credit card company are neither inclined nor qualified to make such a judgment.

It is how they stay afloat which really has me wondering. Must be the constant "rebranding" (fake new ownership announcements) ...

May I know who you mean by "they" exactly?
