I saw a post saying that for 50BTC you could encode something like 300K into the chain (encoded in the to address, the coin would be lost since those addresses don't actually exist). Then just about everyone running the software would be felons.

I was thinking that this is a possible way the government could "take out" Bitcoin.

I don't think so much information can be encoded into just ONE address, is there a way of putting multiple addresses into the generated block ?

Anyway, only the person who put the porn in the chain can be treated as responsible, which makes rest of us innocent.
I think just any court would see this as obvious. The software is not even designed to send files between participants... This is a clear case to me.
