I know illegal number exist, the primes here are different beasts and that's the subject title. If we're going to discuss illegal numbers in general then that's (in my opinion a worthy subject) off-topic for this thread.

Any illegal content can be represented as a number, that's not all that special. Illegal primes took some work to create.
