Plagiarism Inc.

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday July 1, 2010 @05:09AM from the cheating-is-easy-money dept.

Here's an interesting article on the life and times of 24-year-old Jordan Kavoosi, who has made a business of plagiarism. His Essay Writing Company employs writers from across the country, and will deliver a paper on any subject for $23 per page. In addition, his company will get it done in 48 hours, and he guarantees at least a B grade or your money back. From the article: "'Sure it's unethical, but it's just a business,' Kavoosi explains. 'I mean, what about strip clubs or porn shops? Those are unethical, and city-approved.'"

Re:Plagiarism? or Ghost writing? Outsourcing? by TubeSteak · 2010-07-01 07:33 · Score: 4, Informative

It's not plagiarizing if you have permission, which having purchased the paper, you have.
Plagiarism is about citing your work, not about copyright or permission.
If you use someone else's work without citing it, you have plagiarized.
How is it that people don't know WTF plagiarism is?
