New Info: Rhetoric of paper-mill sites; link between authorship values and consumer values; link between “product” writing, consumerism, and plagiarism; consumerist rhetoric that we use when talking about plagiarism

Main Point: Ritter argues that in order to combat wholesale plagiarism via paper mill websites, we need to understand why they have such an appeal to students, and how consumerist rhetoric can play a major role in students’ ethical justifications of buying papers. Ritter suggests more focus on prevention rather than simply working through detection and punishment.
