When you purchase essays online, you are typically purchasing them by a company that possesses the rights to them. In general, a publisher will permit you to purchase one of their books but none of the essays. Why? As a academic journal ought to have unique content so as to be read by its members and contribute to the scholarly community. A company that essay writer owns the rights to some scholarly article or essay will sell it for much less than they would if they owned the rights to some brand new literary work.
