Globalized CAPTCHA in LCC

One great idea (great? Not really!) foudn and used by spammers and other scammers on the Internet in order to run around CAPTCHAs from some web sites (those little graphic forms that humans should be able to decode): Instead of having a computer trying to decode them, let's pay real people to do so. It's only a matter of paying very low salaries.

This is done with Indian people.
