Everything is a number. When you think of an illegal media, such as child porn, it is in fact a gigantic number that your computer parses and turns into an array of frames which is an array of Red, Green, Blue values. Since everything can be encoded into numbers, and some things are illegal, trivially some numbers are illegal (in certain contexts).
