oh yes, there is an entire industry in especially central Asian countries (Bangladesh is huge) where halls of people solve captcha’s for $1 per 1000-5000 captchas.

See http://ha.ckers.org/blog/20080311/human-captcha-breaking/

Don’t forget to read the last 5 comments or so :)

Though I am in favour of having spammers employ and pay poor people in Asia, I hate spam even more and have abolished all captchas from my site as still too many people cannot read them, so it is chasing people away. And, as the link above proves, they do not help anyway.
