I disagree that it is stealing because I never agreed (or wanted) to participate in this program. The site owner did.
I'm under no obligation (moral or otherwise) to make honest contributions. If we wanted to continue with your analogy, it'll be like being forced into a taxi, then driven one meter, then forced to pay a large fee because the landlord doesn't want me to walk on his lawn. I didn't choose to ride the taxi. The landlord did (ignoring saner options).
If google wants a revenue from their service, they should consider charging site owners.
If google wants to train their NNs, they'll have to pay people to classify data for them.
If google doesn't want to do either, and doesn't want people like me contributing to their system, don't let site owners allow us to use their site.
Otherwise, I think google should shutdown the service.
- Klathmon 10y agoIf you really want to keep using the analogy, it's like you going to a restaurant and they require you to take a taxi to the actual location (and tell you the cost upfront), and you just take it then refuse to pay. You do have the option of not using a service that uses recaptcha. Nobody is forcing you to fill them out, you are making the choice to do it because you want the service the site owner is providing, and the site owner wants recaptcha.
- goodplay 10y agoNah, the owner wants to block scrappers. If a taxi company keeps getting screwed over by patrons of a given restaurant, the company should stop providing service for said patrons, seek compensation directly from the people who require their service (the restaurant), or seek legal action against either the patrons or the restaurant. Demanding otherwise is just naive.
