Plagiarism, Schmagerism....

Call me crazy, but when I was in college, I loved writing papers. Sure, there were the kids out there who would pay someone else to write it for them, but you really had to go out there and ask. Not anymore. Since the web has become a part of everyday life, and Millennials who can't recall a time before the PC, term paper writing services have popped up all over the web such as EssayTown.com.

EssayTown provides custom research material and unique papers to those who shell out $34.99 for an example paper. For a more hefty, per page customized paper, it'll cost you anywhere from $18 to $38 per page.

It's crazy that they've made such a business out of this, but not surprising. They have a staff of 150 essay "experts" incuding novelists, research experts and academic journal writers. They do have a caveat on their site talking about the evils of plagiarism and likening their service to Cliff's Notes. More like a REALLY expensive version of it. Of course they say that they are offering reference material for their clients, but come on, I'm sure that these papers are really being submitted, which is a shame.

Well, it's funny because on their website this company boasts about how their researchers are "not" outsourced. Here's what they say straight from their site: "Unlike other "term paper" and "essay" services, we will NOT randomly assign your custom research order to an unskilled, foreign, low-paid, ESL amateur who can't write a coherent sentence in the English language. Our exclusive and unique Exact-Writer® system ensures that your custom research order is assigned to a professional, AMERICAN writer with a high-level college degree in the necessary field of study."
