Pheelyks, that is actually a falsehood that CNN perpetuated (albeit accidentally, I'm sure)
Oh sure.. when things don't go your way, they're "falsehoods." :) As for the rest of your "legal claims," put a sock in them. It's the same stuff over and over again, all meant to convince clients against patronizing foreign sites. The CNN report clearly shows that all such efforts are futile. Like it or not, we have infiltrated the American market and we're here to stay. :p
I don't have a law degree as well but I'm reasonably confident that my being a writer for ew does not make me an accessory to any fraud. If people would care to point out existing laws to the contrary, I invite them to go right ahead.
If that is the case, then you are criminal just as you implied American writers are criminal earlier in this thread (by the very fact that several states have made essay writing illegal).
Actually, my statement implied that all essay mills (not just American ones) are liable to the laws against selling homework that do exist in many states (one actual law has been referenced by humble somewhere in this message board).
But if I were in your situation (i.e. a good writer who can't get hired by legitimate sites because of your country of origin/residence), I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing.
Thanks.
HOWEVER, this does not justify the actions of the companies you right for.
I'm actually cool with all that. If I could get them to change their highly oppressive and unfair business model, I would. Heck, I've tried so many times before already. One time I even brought up that it may be a good move for them to take out the "All-American" guarantees from their feeder sites to make them look more transparent. They simply denied to me that their feeder sites had any such "All-American" guarantees. Aside from that, I'm actually doing a lot less work for them nowadays than I used to in previous years because I've found other foreign sites that also pay well. My only point here really is that people shouldn't shoot their mouths off at foreign writers and call them criminals just because they work for sites like ew. While such a cretin exists in this board, I won't stop making life a living hell for it. ^__^
What does it say about me that this is where I come to unwind?
I know what you mean. >.<
