Journal Zordak's Journal: Illegal Prime Number

This got rejected, so I'll just have to put it in my journal, because I think it's actually pretty cool, and could expose some of the technical flaws of the DMCA. Tasty Bits from the Technology Front has a story (about a year old now), about a prime number that may be illegal under the DMCA. The number, when converted to hex, becomes a binary gzipped file that contains important parts of the DeCSSS source code, which we all know is illegal under the DMCA. Follow the link. It's fun for all ages.
