And, continuing back from hexadecimal, we have the splendid:

    842254760070427756125843951997302119090555319708
in base 10 for the magnet link of the torrent containing the list of magnet links for the pirate bay's torrents. Shall we add to the list of illegal numbers?

Perhaps its prime factorization also belongs on that list.

    2^2×3^2×23×89×24733×462111028392156064869667382167578133253
Best to include the Roman numeral version of the number, as it's equally illegal.

It would also be wise to outlaw the URL I've just linked, and perhaps also the combination of letters "JROu8" as they also contain the information in question given proper context.

So, going back to hex and turning it into a flag just like the Free Speech flag in the wiki link, would that make this image:

the most copyright-infringing flag of all time?


What will they do if we find a crazy enough way to make, say, the number 5 infringing? And who owns 5, anyhow?


Even worse, they will make pointers illegal.
