imperialessays.co.uk - imperial research

Has Anyone used this website before? Are they legit? Please share your stories.

imperialessays.co.uk = deceptive site that also illegally steals copyrighted photos

Note the watermark from istockphoto.com on each of the stolen images. Only an idiot would trust a "writing" site that has an established record of online theft.

It is fair usage not a fraud.

Istockphoto is a PAID site. If the images were open to free use, they would not be so overtly watermarked. Where are they listed for free?

I wrote: FAIR usage, not FREE usage.

"Fair use" doesn't mean "grab without citation or credit and use in a purely commercial venture".

The "fair use" doctrine does NOT apply to commercial conduct. This isn't Russia. We have intellectual property laws in the US. Unless you can quote the American law that supports your assertion, keep your ignorant remarks to yourself.

They credit the author by displaying their logo. Its mutual gain - free advertising for iStockphoto and fair use of their limited content.

Stay off the drugs, Sergei.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
The nature of the copyrighted work
The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

istockPhoto puts a watermark for a reason-> they know people use photos from their sites, if they didn't then they would not bother to put watermark on every photo. watermark is free advertising for them.

You are an absolute idiot, Sergei. The purpose of a watermark is to PROTECT an image from theft and DISSUADE theft from taking place. Again, quote the law or shut up.

The website in question writes research papers, book reports, essay critiques, news releases, and scholarship essays and teaches students how to write their own essays. Fair use.

MORON ALERT!

The site is a FOR-PROFIT enterprise that SELLS "research papers, book reports, essay critiques, news releases, and scholarship essays . . . ."


As dictated by the United States Copyright Office, the Fair Use Doctrine does NOT apply to commercial use. End of story-shut up.

Then explain why google can keep cache of all webpages without problem on their commercial website?

That is well-established fair use. Google's search functionality is FREE to the public and serves the public good. Review the case law, Russian fraudster.

If people are using images with istockphoto long enough it will be well-established law too.


Its not free because information about public usage/trends/behaviors are stored and resold to other media firms.

Your ignorance is astounding. Quote law, or shut up. It's quite simple.

It's not the amount of time but the fact that Google's search engine is free to the public and serves the public good. Try quoting entire sentences.


It's free TO THE PUBLIC. They do not pay a dime. Advertisers pay to advertise on Google.

Even under fair use, you have to acknowledge where you got the picture or make clear it's not your own; proper citation is key to establishing fair use claims. They're not. The watermark is not that acknowledgment. Check this out for some more information:

Done -> its simple indeed: -)



and you find what Google tells you should find. Results are manipulated and faked in many times.


Not only advertisers because tax payers do to after Obama teamed up with Google and they work on some secret projects.

Boo! You suck! Get off the stage!

I am glad that you think that issues of law are jokes. Explains your fraudulent, dishonest business practice: It's all a practical joke!

I wonder how funny it'd be if you were in a Ukrainian prison...


Do you even BOTHER to make a relevant argument? Are you thinking, "What batshit thing can I say to change the topic from my utter devastation? I know, I'll literally talk about bat ****! Guano! Yay!"

Google does not tell anyone what to find. Their search algorithms are well known: They're based on amount of links and relevance. You can find sources that call Google CIA stooges on Google. In any respect, this is moot to the fact that Google offers a free service of social and public value. This site doesn't. Further, people CONSENT to being searched on Google, usually by virtue of posting their website. My website was linked many times off Craigslist but didn't appear on Google itself until I posted it. The artists did NOT consent to having their material stolen and used by fraudsters.


Okay, but

a) If they're secret, how do you know about them? It's true, and a matter of public record, that Google has worked with the US government, China, etc.

b) That's moot to the person using the search engine. From their perspective, the "payment" they are making for using the search is having ads on the screen. Yes, Google clearly has other forms of revenue, but those forms of revenue are not what we're talking about.

When Google Books put up a ton of books for free, there was a furor. Since then, Google Books has been much more constrained. You see, HONEST companies respect the intellectual property of others and the law. (And I don't even like intellectual property, but damned if I'm going to steal others' hard work. My site was made from the ground up). Dishonest scammers, like yourself, don't. Simple difference.

My o my, This has gone far from the question.

Not really. Stu, unsurprisingly, is defending fraudulent, illegal and unethical behavior, we're taking him to task for it, ImperialEssays is apparently at least guilty of copyright violations.

Imperial essays has scammed me

I am new to this forum and have recently used Imperial Essays for my Undergrad dissertation. I paid for 2.2 standard and scored 2.1 standard. I am quite happy from Imperial essays and now thinking to do my Masters from them as well.

HAHAHA..same sick mentality here = writerbeware

I can immediately tell from your posts that you are either a Pakistani or Kenyan fraudster. The longer you stay here, the more I will rightfully expose and damage the site(s) with which you are affiliated.

WritersBeware...you are a racist and shame to this forum. We (students) are looking for genuine help and consultation and wants to share our views. However people like you make a bad impression of this forum.

Woud you care to explain how I am "racist"?


Right . . . .

Actually, there are some free to use photo sites that watermark the images so that proper credit can be delivered, without having to explicitly tell the user that. Perhaps that was the case here. Since iStock did not complain about the photo usage, we can assume that the company used the photos within the guidelines provided for its free use. One should not jump to conclusions based on a watermark alone.

I am getting an error message when I access this site. The server is refusing my ip address handshake for some reason. I have been told that it is a common problem among websites that are being taken offline. The main page has been deleted while the other pages remain active, leading to a server connection confusion. I will hazard a guess here and say the company, which relied on freebies to exist, had to shutdown because the company wanted to do business on the cheap.

@noted
This company was dissolved/wound up on July 9th 2013. Much easier to say it like this!
