I hope if this actually happens that the argument is better than
pointing out the fact that this key can be expressed as a number.
Because, anything which can be digitized can be expressed as a number.

Besides, if someone posted your telephone number and credit card
number on Wikipedia, and the foundation refused to remove it, I bet
you'd be pissed too.

Granted, I think this is different, because copying DVDs is a good
thing while stealing stuff using credit card numbers is a bad thing,
but from the POV of a large portion of the population piracy is
actually a bad thing.
