R2C2

R2C2, Inc., owned by Rusty Carroll, is a company located in Carbondale, Illinois, that operates a group of at least nine sites that sold term papers. According to his attorney, they collectively offered a total of 200,000 to 300,000 papers.[1] The sites include: DoingMyHomework.com, FreeforEssays.com, and FreeforTermPapers.com.[2][3]

Carroll and his company had been previously sued by Blue Macellari at Duke University for copyright infringement, false designation of origin, consumer fraud and deception.[4] That suit was settled in 2006.[2][5][6][7]
