Cool. Now, can an integer be copyrighted? If so, that’s got to be a pretty strong argument that IP laws have swung too far in favour of corporations.

Hmmm, I wonder how many primes it can factored into? How about if I divide it by two, or ten, or twenty?

This is kind of fun, and I’ve never even ripped a DVD, although I have downloaded a few that someone else ripped. I just object to perfectly good and legitimate uses of media being blocked by a pointless, and hopeless, attempt to prevent piracy.
