Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

That's quite unusual!

The RISKS Digest Volume 21 Issue 42
Converting Pi to binary: DON'T DO IT! (via Russ Perry Jr.)
<"Keith F. Lynch" kfl@KeithLynch.net>
[not included]
Newsgroup: alt.math.recreational
WARNING: Do NOT calculate Pi in binary. It is conjectured that this number is normal, meaning that it contains ALL finite bit strings.
If you compute it, you will be guilty of:
β’ Copyright infringement (of all books, all short stories, all newspapers, all magazines, all web sites, all music, all movies, and all software, including the complete Windows source code)
β’ Trademark infringement
β’ Possession of child pornography
β’ Espionage (unauthorized possession of top secret information)
β’ Possession of DVD-cracking software
β’ Possession of threats to the President
β’ Possession of everyone's SSN, everyone's credit card numbers, everyone's PIN numbers, everyone's unlisted phone numbers, and everyone's passwords
β’ Defaming Islam. Not technically illegal, but you'll have to go into hiding along with Salman Rushdie.
β’ Defaming Scientology. Which IS illegal β just ask Keith Henson.
Also, your computer will contain all of the nastiest known computer viruses. In fact, all of the nastiest POSSIBLE computer viruses.
Some of the files on my PC are intensely personal, and I for one don't want you snooping through a copy of them.
You might get away with computing just a few digits, but why risk it? There's no telling how far into Pi you can go without finding the secret
documents about the JFK assassination, a photograph of your neighbor's six year old daughter doing the nasty with the family dog, or a complete copy of the not-yet-released Pearl Harbor movie. So just don't do it.
The same warning applies to e, the square root of 2, Euler's constant, Phi, the cosine of any non-zero algebraic number, and the vast majority of all other real numbers.
There's a reason why these numbers are always computed and shown in decimal, after all.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

The offending bit stream(s) will never the less appear, just in different locations.

That would be infringement of IP. Still bad!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Since the matter in the universe is finite, or certainly finite in terms of computation, would not attempting to compute the complete value result in consuming all of the matter in the universe?
Which at that point in time should mean it doesn't matter if infringes on published documentation.

I really hope that it is. And that time is finite, and will end some time. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of infinites. I am hoping for a gnab gib.

You can be sure though that the time about which you would need to consider it is finite.

I beg to differ; the matter in the visible Universe appears to be finite, but we don't know how large the Universe (visible and non-visible) is. There is good evidence that it is much larger than that, and could be infinite in size.
If the universe is only 14 billion years old, how can it be 92 billion light years wide? - YouTube

Given that the visible Universe is expanding, your assumption merely places an upper limit on the rate at which the calculation can proceed. The maximum number of bits calculated per second is the energy density of the newly-visible parts of the Universe, multiplied by the newly-visible volume, and divided by the energy required per bit.

The original comment made it clear that the actual outcome was publishing the result and not the calculation itself.
