I remember a message board from a few years ago where some guy had talked about taking a screen shot of a captcha and displaying it on his free porn site making it look like it was really from his site. The person looking at the porn site would type in the captcha answer and his script would in turn use this user provided solution to solve the real captcha on the original site letting his script get past the captchas and spam the message board. So if it really did work he got 1000's of captchas solved by humans for free.

Including me?

If there was no Internet people would still have pirated software. I remember playing pirated video games on my Commadore 64.

I went to boingboing.com and todays news is " Goatse.cx domain is for sale"
