Get Paid to Pirate!
Here's a new use of mTurk that I haven't seen before from Nat. He'll pay you a whole 15 cents to:
So, I tried checking to make sure the song isn't in public domain and I don't see any evidence that it is. In fact, here you can go get the album it's in, for 15 bucks.
So Nat, I like your creativity. But if you want to pirate some songs, go get Limewire and leave the Turkers out of it.
Thanks.
Find entire The Handing Down by Ed Gerhard in MP3 Format and upload it here.

I ran across a few of these recently as well: a HIT that asks you to find sources for copyrighted media and post links. Since the ones I saw requested as many links as I could find for a particular media source, I'm assuming that in this case the requesters are likely trolling for infringing links that they can issue takedown notices for, or some other such purpose. I declined to participate. It's interesting to occasionally think about the applications and implications of seemingly innocuous HITs.
hahaha! that's funny!
There is some really dodgy stuff on MTurk, it's really like anything goes for Amazon.
