That's exactly their point. Computer data can be represented as a number. They've managed to find an intrinsically important number (a very large prime) which is also this "illegal" computer program, so they can say, "WTF, is the government going to ban this number from lists of primes used in mathematical research?" or the like. It highlights just how dumb the premise is. If you read the CSS page you'll see how else its been encoded for similar humor value (I'd love to hear a "dramatic reading" of it!)
