What if you did have a collection of 2000 credit card numbers, and never made an unlawful purchase on a single one? Who's been harmed? Likelihood of replication doesn't change the basic premise. That's getting into the realm of outlawing information and concepts rather than actions and deeds, and that's not a very good road to start walking down.
Well if you didn't have a good reason to be hoarding credit card numbers you could be convicted of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud. In the same way the only reason to distribute a number generated from porn would be to distribute the porn, and the only reason the distribute that exact DVD key is to circumvent a protection system (which is illegal in the US, I believe). This is about outlawing the distribution of certain information, which is very much a real crime in some circumstances.
Ed,

Sorry but I don't really get it. How this number crack protection system. Because i am looking at this number and my DVD is not still cracked?
