Amazon has started a new project called Mechanical Turk where people are assigned jobs which is difficult to be done by machines. As a reward, we can get paid by the person requesting the job. I have signed in for the program and have done 4 jobs. The jobs are easy to do – like editing the product description, editing the features listing. After the requester approves the work done, I would get the money for the HIT done.
But is there a loophole? What if the requester rejects the HIT but makes use of the job done by me. It would mean that I would not be payed for what I did. I wonder what measures Amazon have against such things.
