Because the operators are in to make good earnings and they find loopholes in the laws of such countries or islands and today in minutes launch an online "university".
For many of people the concept of University run from a house is unacceptable. To many people university is what you have in B&M traditional schools. Believe it or not but many people won't even consider an on line university such as UoP. My friend David learned about one such on line school and when he went home on the next day he told us that his wife told him that there is no way he goes to such a school, on line is still almost like easy degree or milled degree in view of many. Change take time.
KU was around long before Insainz, RCD and Puffman had ever heard of distance learning. And these, plus JB and a few others, are anti KU because it operates perfectly legally, offers some impressive courses at reasonable cost, has a very impressive Faculty (and I've gotten to know a few of them, and unlike the Degreediscussion 'experts' are real experts in their field and have made major contributions to distance learning) and it is successful - just like many private universities spread around the world. Over the years KU has organised a number of important seminars - like the anti-terrorist conference in the UK a couple of years ago, and many KU graduates are in high positions in government, the military, industry, commerce and education.
And, as I've pointed out on many occasions, JB operated Greenwich and a number of his other schools; from his residence and that there is nothing wrong with that. In fact numerous professional businesses - doctors, lawyers, dentists, surveyors, architects, and so on - operate from private residences in New Zealand.
And yet, JB recently chose to contact the Danish news media informing them that KU operated from a private residence - of course all that happened was that JB ended up with more egg on his face.
