The following links were gleaned from simple searches in common search engines, using key words like 'essays', 'term papers' and 'homework'. Whilst not exhaustive, there is sufficient content here for teachers be be aware of what they are up against.
I have included direct quotations (copy-n-paste) from the sites if they have any sort of disclaimer. I was amused by the apparent naivity of their suggestions that the work be used for research purposes only - Me thinks they protest too much!

The
Student Essay Network

This site is interesting, not because it contains any free content now, but that it was taken down based on a 'sudden' awareness of the authors wrongdoing...
This Site Is Discontinued...
When I first constructed this web site three years ago, I had no idea how much controversy it would cause. Honestly, I just wanted to post some of my own writing here. Soon, hundreds of students were e-mailing me their essays to add to my list.
Along with essays, I received tons of mail from students who said they really appreciated my site, and that it helped them more than I could ever know. I received no complaints from teachers, just praise from students. I suspected students were plagiarizing from my web site, but I wasn't sure.It wouldn't have taken much convincing for me to take down this site. When it was first constructed, I had to spend hundreds of hours processing essays and answering mail. It was a lot of work, and if someone had sent a polite e-mail regarding the ethics of this site, I would have ended it in a minute!
Then one day, the judicial affairs department at my university called me into their office. I had to have a private meeting with the dean regarding my site.
I was shocked to find out that their department had received approximately 50 calls from upset teachers! Every single one of them was asking the dean to expel me from the university -- basically, kick me out!
I never received any e-mail from these teachers. They never voiced their feelings to me, nor did they try to explain how my site hurt their students' education. They decided to ignore me as a human, and try to ruin my future by taking away my chance at a college degree. Aren't these people interested in protecting education? Obviously not, if they want to expel me from school.
If any of these teachers had taken a minute to write a polite e-mail, they would have found out that I am a very reasonable, and compassionate person. They might have also found out that getting through college has been a major hardship for me. Neither of my parents went to college, and they had no interest in paying for my education. So, for the last six years of my life, I've been working full or part time to struggle through school. In my last year of school, those teachers were going to take all of that work away from me, without bothering to confront me about their feelings. ... snip
Attention Teachers/Educators: Are you searching for a ripped-off paper? Visit the Essay Verification Engine (http://www.canexus.com/eve/index3.shtml)! Enter the essay in this program, and it will show you all the web sites that contain text from the essay. I tested it out on a few of my essays from this site, and it was 100% successful!
These sites contain some of the best free essays available on the net. These resources are to help you with ideas and should be used as study guides only. You should never copy sections out of these papers, let alone hand them in as your own. Besides the moral implications of this, its plagarism and therefore illegal.

Cheater.com has been around for about 1 year now. We started operation January 1, 1997. We have a team of counselors that answer questions daily as well as give ideas for new content. At this point, Cheater.com makes no money at all. The service is to tally free but we do ask as a member, you submit one paper.Publicity
This site has been in many, many articles in various publications around the world. The LA Times, NY Times, just to name a few. Numerous TV appearances have helped the site's growth around the world.Who We Are, Who We Aren't
Running this site upsets some people, specifically we are referring to an article on MSNBC last year. Being compared to anarchists and other apathetic related groups is hardly our goal. We provide a service for students, like anything it can be abused i f used improperly. Like any Library, we offer lots of information which can be used for facts only. Plagiarism is illegal and Cheater.com does not support it in any way, shape, or form.

Homework's Done is a web site that will give you a chance to look at what other people have done on projects similar to yours. As a student I know how hard writing a report can be but, all the papers here are to be used as examples only. Do yourself a favor and don't turn them in. Besides you found this site, how do you know your teacher hasn't found it too?
In collecting thoughts and resources for this document, I am grateful to a large collection of teachers through QSITE-Community and OZ-Teachers mailing lists that provided encouragement and submitted URLs of sites they had heard of.
