Is Breaking CAPTCHA a Crime? (Wired article)

Uncle Tony said:
Maybe if it can be proven that the person doing the breaking expressly agreed to the site's TOS which contains a clause about CAPTCHAs. This would mean registering on the site. Those footer notices that claim the mere act of visiting the site "constitutes acceptance of TOS" are about as worseless as those email signatures stating not to forward or publish the contents if received by anyone other than the intended recipient.

This would create a very slippery slope. You're essentially giving power to website owners to constitute what is a crime. Anything that breaks their TOS could then be considered a crime.

yes it is. You can get life or even a death sentence in Alabama for it.

You'll also rot in Hell for all eternity afterwards. Don't you read your Koran? "Thou shalt not suffer a captcha-breaker to live"

And its even in the Bible, Corinthians 17:11 "And the breakage of the captcha resounded mightily unto the hordes of the Israelites, and they Googledeth that it was good".

Breaking captchas is not illegal and just the suggestion is depriving the handicap a valid chance to join and participate in forums.

Fact is, most blind people live on Decaptcher.com! :rasta:

Now tell me your not discriminating...:female:
 
it can, i know all you guys are laughing about it, but it's down to the intent and purpose behind it.

thre was a tread on here long ago about some dude who realsed that hotmail was assesing whether an email is junk or not based on how man users allow/block list it's on.

so the guy opened up millions, yes millions of hotmail accounts, put his spam email account down as "allow" and then spamed hotmail users.

if youre breaking captcha ate a mass scale, hundreds of thousands of them, then you are faciliating spam but circumvent anti spam procedures..

it all coes down to who you pissed off and do they have big po kets to sue you.

if you break googles patcha system for instance and offer this service out to others, they'll rape your ass.

Why the fuck are you copy pasting my stuff like this. What are you trying to achieve by raising the post count here?
 
This shit is so absurd. More federal interference, they work within the law and stop trying to manipulate them to their sole advantage.

Enforcing contracts = aok
manipulating laws so they can lock people up for retarded reasons = garbage.
