Is it possible to create something where knowing about the thing constitutes copyright infringement?

I suppose you could argue an "illegal number" is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number.

For example, the HD DVD encryption key saga was originally fought via DMCA notices to Digg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy

But you have to know the number. It's not copyright infringement if you just know there is a number.
