Needless to say my teacher caught on and returned my paper with a huge D-, just for my effort. I never realized what not only was i cheating myself, but I was breaking the law. The moment my name was on those title pages- I comitted a crime. Nowadays I look at free papers as other tools for reaserch and few good sentences.
