Excellent legal discussion of plagiarism. Notes that though
plagiarism is an academic offense, it is unlawful in some states, including
NC, to sell term papers, etc. to students. Discusses specific
cases that have been tried in court, plus offers links to other sites.
The following is North Carolina's law.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-118.2

§ 14-118.2. Assisting, etc., in obtaining academic credit by
fraudulent means
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or
association to assist any student, or advertise, offer or attempt to assist
any student, in obtaining or in attempting to obtain, by fraudulent means,
any academic credit, grade or test score, or any diploma, certificate or
other instrument purporting to confer any literary, scientific,
professional, technical or other degree in any course of study in any
university, college, academy or other educational institution. The activity
prohibited by this subsection includes, but is not limited to, preparing or
advertising, offering, or attempting to prepare a term paper, thesis, or
dissertation for another; impersonating or advertising, offering or
attempting to impersonate another in taking or attempting to take an
examination; and the giving or changing of a grade or test score or offering
to give or change a grade or test score in exchange for an article of value
