Here's a site that sells corrupted MS Word files. The idea is that you e-mail one of the files to your professor when your homework is due, buying you a few hours -- or maybe days -- of extra time before your professor notices that it's corrupted. On the one hand, this is clever. But on the other hand, it's services like these that will force professors to treat corrupted attachments as work not yet turned in, and harm innocent homework submitters.

Hmmm ... wonder if I've been hit by this & damn this is a stupid thing to pay money for but feel-free! It's your money versus my deadline & submission policies…

Isn't it easier to simply open up a word file with notepad or even better, some binary or hex editor and change some values arround? Managed to "corrupt" a couple of documents easily enough without paying anyone. But hey, this is what "a free market" is all about. Everytime there is someone willing to buy, there will be someone willing to sell.
