I wrote a history paper for someone that I took $40 for back in 11th grade. Is that cheating? I didn't think so. It worked out well for both of us.

I looked at it as capitalism at its finest. He required a paper, I required cash. We did a transaction that was mutually beneficial

I'd say he cheated, but not you. He offered you $40 for a paper. You provided it. It's not your fault that he decided to turn it in as his own.

That's a good way of looking at it, b ut I've also bought papers as well when I was too lazy to look at them, and I've sat there watching tv while the person wrote it. I see nothing wrong with it. It was just high school and it wasn't like I couldn't have done the papers myself. I know that it was cheating but I see nothing morally wrong with that. No one is harmed by it.

It's not like cheating in a relationship where someone gets harmed. No one really gets harmed in this except the place of learning, and [censored] them.
