Since the OP is talking about XOR, why not use Information Dispersal Algorithms ?
I asked a similar question on #askreddit the other day, what if I put the odd bits of a movie on a server in Ukraine and the even bits on a server in Sweden, a special kind of media player live steam the content, reassemble small chunks in memory on the fly and playback it on a monitor directly? Technically I am not pirating the movie unless I was caught watching it right now.
The #askreddit people suggested me consulting a lawyer :)
- wmf 17y agoThis is just a more obfuscated version of the incorrect "BitTorrent isn't infringing" argument. Distributing half of a copyrighted work is probably still infringement, so whoever is operating those servers would be in trouble.

Which leads to a natural but important question: to what degree of information means copying? Does 1's and 0's also means part of copyrighted work so nobody can use binary? Also, mathematically, can we build something like probability of copyright?
