Show me the automated response to C/R that exists beyond a blog theory, and i'll believe.
This "strenghtness" of C/R technique is also their biggest weaknessness. This is a principle the writer of the article stresses, but apparently does not got on him that C/R systems, just like many other suggested theories, is more detrimental to legitimate user than to spammers. Ever thought of visual impaired people, or with other disabilities? They RELY on systems that do automatic reading of digital documents, and often they're not even so good. If a C/R defeats automatic reading, it locks out those users.
Sure, numerically these are almost unsignificant cases. But in principle? We are talking of systems that *maybe* could stop an illegitimate use of a media, but *surely* damage persons that already have their share of discriminations, difficulties, and so on.
Under a marketing point of view, one could accept to lose an handful of user if this permit him a monetary benefit: so if Hotmail uses a C/R system to register accounts, nobody can condamn it.
But are we talking in introducing a C/R system in the protocols for sending mail?
This would render the protocols themselves not usable by certain category of legitimate users.

Well, I could reveal to you that a company called Fnord Motor Company DO exists, but then I should kill you. YNCFT.

Definitely NOT a good thing.
