Why Are Essay Writing Services Legal?
Why Are Essay Writing Services Legal?When is essay writing services legal? Most people don't think of writing a dissertation as a service for which they are providing an extra service. For example, many essay writing companies offer ghost writers to write non-fiction essays for use in school curriculum vitae (resume) applications.The fact is that this sort of service does not require legal authorisation because the need for the material is not specifically stated in the contract that the author enters into with the company. In fact, most states require that the author of the assignment to be aware of the state law that applies to the particular subject matter being addressed in the essay.In light of this, it seems obvious that the service being offered by these types of companies in the current market conditions will not be considered as legal by courts and regulatory bodies in the future. However, it would be wrong to conclude that this is a statement that should be applied to all w riter - whether legal or non-legal - companies.In the past, there was a trend in the US towards what we now consider to be unethical essay writing services. For example, it has been known for non-legal companies to offer their writers work on a contingency basis. This means that they would take a percentage of the final amount written and then pay the other party directly without providing any sort of client guarantee of confidentiality or ownership of the essay.The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has even taken this attitude further and called such non-legal companies illegal as they provided no paper template and were simply collecting money without compensating the writer. One of the prime examples of such non-lawyers was Aaron Shomura, a former one-time boss of mine at my law firm. The DOJ investigated the company and found a preponderance of evidence that they were illegal and unethical.There has also been an increase in the number of newspaper articles in recent years where wri ters have been accused of offering 'informal'sham' essay writing services to journalists. This sort of situation does not require any elaboration from me as I feel this issue should be dealt with by the individual writer concerned. The fact is that if you pay someone to write an essay that you agree to be published in an academic journal then it is completely acceptable for the editor to demand a copy of the final draft.Essay writing is an important part of law, medicine, business and many other areas of endeavor. The reason why so many writers feel that the practice should be illegal is simply that in some cases it is not.Whether or not you accept this view and take it to court, there is no doubt that the increasing number of unhappy cases involving writers who believe that their work has been manipulated or taken without compensation means that it is worth considering. Furthermore, it will help to clarify any confusion over the legal status of these types of services.
