Right. I'm just saying that in the end there is no way to protect
against using a real human being to defeat a captchas. I've even heard
of porn sites requiring users to crack a cpatcha to get in, which they
then resell to spammers as a revenue stream. Hard to protect your site
against nefarious means like that.

The latest response from a recent article I read is to use people in

countries to do many many multiple of manual sign ups for $3 a day.
Sadly this also overcomes alternative approaches such as providing an
answer to a question or problem.
