When someone can tell me who owns the number 2, I will tell you who owns our cultural heritage of songs.
You jest, but the number 2 is implicitly copyrighted, and illegal. Why?
Well. There are integers which are illegal, such as the DeCSS prime.
It's equally illegal to publish a number which is (illegal number) - 1 with instructions of "just add 1".
Given that you could publish the number 2 (or 1), and say "just add (huge number)", and that you could publish an infinitely (except not infinity) immense integer and say "just subtract (huge number)", it stands to reason that there is no smallest illegal integer, nor a largest illegal integer.

Thus, all integers are illegal.
