Supposing I found the index location of the next Star Wars movie in pi, would it be copyright infringement for me to mention that on a forum?

I'm not sure it could be but I'm not expecting this to happen during any of our lifetimes :)


Let's redefine copyright timelines in terms of computational effort to find its location in pi.


I don't think any forum would allow you to post the location index simply because it would take too much space to store it.


We all have the same copy, so you can just tell me where it is in my hard drive, how is that theft?
