The recent post on ripping DVDs reminded me of the DeCSS prime number. Fascinating topic to think about.

this goes somewhat further, if you consider binary representation as a very large number. any digital image, or audio is fundamentally a very large binary number, so any such representation of illegal action, is an illegal number, that can be used to manufacture offending media.
