Distributing what could be a multi-trillion digit number to your friends
Also:
The fact that a multi-trillion digit number is at least 1,000 times as many digits as the original ISO being "compressed"
Other than that, it's a great compression scheme, honest. In fact, you can compress this multi-trillion digit number even further by transmitting the multi-quadrillion offset of it's occurence in Pi instead.
