New Tack Against Term Paper Providers
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:New Tack Against Term Paper Providers (ID: CSD4191)
Author(s):Doug Lederman
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:A graduate student has filed a lawsuit charging three online vendors of term papers with selling a paper she wrote without her permission. Blue Macellari is currently pursuing graduate degrees at Johns Hopkins University and Duke University. The paper in question, which was written when she was a student at Mount Holyoke College, was posted on Macellari's personal Web page in 1999 but turned up for sale on DoingMyHomework.com, FreeforEssays.com, and FreeforTermPapers.com, all of which are owned by an Illinois company called R2C2. Macellari said she did not give her permission to use the paper, which itself could violate honor codes at Johns Hopkins and Duke. John Palfrey, law professor at Harvard University and executive director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, said that the defendants will have difficulty prevailing if Macellari's complaint is accurate. On the question of whether the action would have an appreciable effect on the sale of papers online, Palfrey was less optimistic. Comparing Macellari's lawsuit to similar actions to limit spam, he noted that spam continues to grow unabated. "It's hard to bring enough spam lawsuits to make a big difference," he said.
