The 'type in a code' mechanism is called a CAPTHCA. See:

  http://www2.parc.com/istl/projects/captcha/

The typical mechanism for defeating a CAPTCHA is to screen scrape
the image, and reuse it on a pornography website. Essentially the
bad guys trick humans into doing the work for them.

I never heard that, but it's a good idea! lol
But for a spammer, he should wait for years if he has not 100 000 visitors per 
day on his porno site.
And if he has, he has no reason to win extra money with spam, because I think 
it's better paid.
