If I have to do that, then this is in effect not a turing complete device and thus factually no computer anymore.

Turing Complete: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

They've set up a script that will generate a random number, encrypt a copyrighted haiku, and then deed the number back to you. You won't get a copyright on the number or the haiku, but you can turn almost any number you want into an illegal circumvention device under the DMCA, such that anyone subject to US law caught distributing it can be punished under the DMCA's anti-trafficking section, for which the DMCA's Safe Harbor provisions do not apply. So F9090211749D5BE341D8C5565663C088 is truly mine now, and you can pry it out of my cold, dead hands!"
