OpenView playing Captcha!
Why would you want to know if a "real" person is accessing content from your website? Perhaps you have a lot of movies on your website and you want to make sure some horrible computer program is not stealing them automatically and then just putting them on their own site! Welcome to the world of Captcha; telling humans and computers apart automatically.
When you select a server to watch a movie you may receive a Captcha displayed on your TV screen asking you to enter some information. This Captcha is coming from the 180Uploads server.
By enter the text displayed, OpenView will communicate to the server with the text you entered.
If you enter the incorrect text
You will not be able to view the movie
Most Captchas are implemented on web sites because the website makes money from advertising revenues. The website may have to prove to their advertisers (who are paying the bills!) that real people are seeing the advertising!
