The perfect argument to any ethical dilemma. "But no one will ever
know..." No one but you (at least that's the hope). It's the same
practice used by Enron's management team. Remember what happened to them?

Do you even understand what force majeure means? What "unavoidable
event" or "failure to perform" could possibly rationalize a student's
cheating?

Actually, it is a crime. Since it breaches the school's ethical code of
conduct for students it is a crime and the student can look forward to
[at least] suspension if not expulsion. If a degree has been awarded
then revocation is not out of the question either. If a job was
dependent on the degree then you could loose that as well. What of a
security clearance? The list of possible repercussions is endless.

Yes I have read similar books and unless I'm copying from the book
(plagiarism) and turning that in as my work then it isn't the same at
all. "Problems and Solutions" style manuals are designed to be used as
teaching tools that demonstrate common methods for problem solving - it
teaches the student how to solve a problem on their own without
providing the answer to the specific problem. What this service does is
solve the problem for the student. Not the same at all.
