As a company we have tried tirelessly to regulate the industry we are in, but no one was interested I'm afraid. As a UK based company we take what we do extremely seriously and our writing and research is provided with very clear terms of use. One of my colleagues in the researcher relations team has put this all far more eloquently then me http://www.academicknowledge.com/ethics.php
We have quite a few writers and researchers that make a good living from freelancing with us. Our rates of pay are some of the best in the industry and we have a team dedicated to looking after our writers.
The bidding system has changed recently so that now some assignments are a simple fixed fee and you can simply view the brief and apply for it. Some are done on a bidding system (not so many now, most are fixed fee) whereby you post the fee you would charge for the work and the work is assigned to the best fee/qualified researcher.
We offer a great way to work from home, at times that suit you and at good rates of pay. You can give our team a call before you apply, they are always happy to help and answer any questions you might have - http://www.academicknowledge.com/contactus.php
I'm sure that you are well used to dealing with our concerns.
As for model answers being a normal part of the system:
1. I always thought that it was very unfair when I was at school that the kids with rich parents were able to strut around with bundles of "cheat books" for all of their English Lit subjects etc.
2. The difference with the published "model answer" texts though is that the relevant academic staff members ought to know about their existence (and contents) and can police any blatant plagiarism. Unless you make it a term of your sales contracts that a copy of the work is sent to the student's college/university, your model is impossible to police in that manner.
I have no doubt that your rates of pay are very good, I just can't get my head around the legitimacy of a student using this sort of service.
How does it enhance their education or help them to learn to research and think for themselves?
