pwning a number

So, as I was reviewing for this class's final, a story piqued my interest. The MPAA is claiming they own a number. While the number is a key to unlocking proprietary data on HD-DVD's, that is still just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Other people seem to agree. I have read numerous news stories about people revolting against web sites such as Digg for taking the number down.

So, in honor of the MPAA's decision to claim they own the rights to a number, I am going to claim I own the rights to the number 3,397. This means you are now disallowed from doing calculations such as 43 * 79 and 2592 + 805. Thank you for your cooperation.
