So could ours, thanks for a great service, regardless :)
In principle a good idea. However, there is so many useless stuff offered in the internet, like programs pretending to do something useful, but just don't do anything except to help someone earn money - scamware, scareware. I would rather think to put any such stuff into one category, not just academic fraud and software - name TBD. I've voted nevertheless.

I think the term fraud in the name might be causing some confusion here. It's not that the web site is committing any fraud, it's that the site in some way enables people *using* the site to commit academic fraud i.e. cheating, plagiarism, etc. They do this by a) discussing or providing information on how to cheat or b) services such as selling old essays on topics that the user can sell as their own, or custom writing essays for students to submit as their own.
Example: http://www.essaymill.com/
This isn't just 'assistance' as they call it; the testimonials contain thanks from people who say they use the service because they didn't have time themselves. The site is selling a very real service, but those of us blocking content at schools certainly don't want our students using them.

I'd have to agree with rotblitz here - this category could be broader, but one is needed. I'm not sure under which current category this would be submitted. (Pornography seems to be a catch-all, but watch people actually vote against it on this occasion.)
Scams, fraud, illegal sales could be included.
Yeah like the canadian pharmacies that aren't even canadian http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/11/fda_targets_rogue_internet_pha.html Is there a category for scams/fraud/illegal? I don't find one, so I think one's needed, but Academic Fraud seems like a different category.
Calling stuff that isn't porno porno seems like a bad idea to me...
Like calling fake canadian pharmacies phishing sites.
I submitted these 78 unlisted domains as Drugs, since they're illegal - not the drugs themselves, but the sites/companies running the sites.

Better than nothing. But they really need a different category - they should not be in the same category as illegal drug information sites like erowid.
I wanted to inform you that we are in the first stage of adding this as a new category. The fist step is that you can now tag such sites as Academic Fraud in Domain Tagging at http://www.opendns.com/community/domaintagging/submit/
Once we have populated the category with sufficient amount of domains we will enable it as an active category in the Dashboard.
I would encourage anyone who has a list of these domains, or happens to come across them, to submit them for review.

Good information about DNS, I am currently a dns user. I think dns technology is great, which helps me a lot.
