Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Illegal number
WP:NOR|Original research.  The AACS encryption key controversy is an interesting topic, for sure.  Illegal prime may seem related to it, but legally, it's not so clear they are really part of the same issue.  This is a tricky one to call, but when I thought about why it was so tricky, it became clear this was actuallly OR.  When somebody reads about Carmody's illegal prime and then reads about the encryption key business, it may be easy to start theorizing about illegal numbers, e.g. "wow, everything is a number...we can't copyright anything unless we copyright numbers!"  But this kind of theorizing, while pleasant to do, is just OR, unless it is published in |reliable sources.  And any such speculation that connects "illegal" primes (which AFAIK no legal experts actually think are illegal) with a particular (allegedly) illegal number by creating terminology to connect them together, is just that – speculation, unless properly sourced
