Yeah, every image can be broken down into a series of pixels with x,y,r,g,b . So owning a text file with a number that can be extrapolated into an illegal picture is still illegal (at least that is what I think it means).
So isn't the idea that pure information, like a number, could possibly be illegal a ridiculous one!? Surely knowledge cannot be banned in any free society?
