There are plenty of services out there offering to solve captchas for reasonable prices. Here's one of them: http://www.deathbycaptcha.com/

Then again I think it might be more useful to approach the Wellcome Library, both for getting easier access to their collection and informing them about our stance on copyright.

I imagine some of you may have seen that the Wellcome Library announced yesterday [1] that they have made over 100,000 high resolution images of manuscripts, paintings, etchings, early photography, and advertisements available using a CC-BY license. I was wondering [2] if it is ok to upload CC-BY images to the Commons.

This is mostly in theory since the downloads are sitting behind reCAPTCHAs and several levels of click throughs — but you never know :-)
