Writing papers for someone else is not illegal. (The student presenting the paper as their own violates your copyright, and potentially other laws.) But if you market and sell your papers for the purpose of cheating, particularly with respect to students pursuing degrees they intend to use for licensing/certification (e.g. law or civil engineering), you're aiding and abetting fraud.

Hmm. Seems like there could be an argument for tortious interference here, though establishing damages could be difficult.
>potentially the law
Yeah, show me the law that tells me it's illegal to write something for someone else. Thanks.
