These types of companies would be far better off to use their skills to help companies write PR level “white papers” as everyone knows when they read them what they are for and that they are more of a glorified brochure set of case studies in most cases. These companies can still exist, they just should not be allowed to use the Internet to help people cheat. I think this is a good policy, I understand why you did this and why Google is and why the Educational System is fed up with these things.

However, in the UK the system set in place by government of all persuasions, encourages the growth of such pratice, where not only chlidren but teachers and lecturers are pulled by market force and results, rather than education that is meaningful.

It is obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse that it was always going to end in this mess.

Sadly, the mess provides a market and market provides opportunity for profit. It is the law of supply and demand.

I congratulate you at E-zine Articles on your stance.

Actually, I never thought of the Essay and Term Paper sellers as “spammers” because they are just trying to fill a market demand…

BUT, I can see why many would consider it unethical to help college students cheat by providing them with customized “research” in the form of a paper many of them will just read and hand in.

For the record, we’re not against this “term paper-selling” industry and it’s not our role to ‘teach them a lesson’. With this new policy, we’re just saying that we prefer to not have content from members who promote the sale of term papers and essays for college students.
