Not really. We've decided as a society that information can be illegal. Whether that information is encrypted, obfuscated, or whatever, it is still illegal. Everything is a number if you abstract it enough and any number can be transformed into any other number easily. As long as it can be shown that the numbers you're publishing are intentionally being published for the purpose of providing illegal information, you're breaking the law.
The legal system is not like a computer system and tech people who think they can fool it with simple tricks like it was a computer system are in for an unpleasant surprise.
