If you are buying a term paper off the Internet, you are probably not that concerned about whether someone’s copyright has been infringed upon.
But some of the people who wrote those papers are concerned about their copyrights, and their lawsuit has led an Illinois judge to order to one of these term paper companies to prove it has permission for the papers it sells.
According to USA Today, this might “be the first time a court has penalized a seller based on how it acquires papers.”
