Google says that this is the ‘Free speech Flag’
which is “A(sic) image created by/for anti-DMCA (etc.) activists that contains RGB values forming the forbidden number of the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray encryption key, but saved in JPG format which causes a one-bit error in several of the bytes. “

This is the Free Speech Flag. The flag arose out of the HD DvD encryption key controversy and the attempted censorship / copyrighting of the number. The colours of the flag in the hex format work out to #09F911 #029D74 #E35bD8 #4156C5 #635688 +C0. Popular culture also adopted these shades as new colours naming them free speech green, free speech aquamarine, free speech magenta and so on.

The RGB encoding of each color gives 3 bytes of the 09 F9 HD-DVD key, with the 16th byte being C0 appended at the end.

It is the Free Speech flag. This is basically because of the decree ruling “the intellectual property of numbers”
Simple question da :)

The Free Speech Flag.
MPAA and AACS demanded several websites to remove pages and links to pages containing the 128-bit encryption key (commonly referred to the 09 F9 key) which is one of the keys used to encrypt HD-DVDs and Blue-ray discs.
The protest led to the creation of the ‘Free speech flag’. The RGB encoding of each of the five colors provides three bytes of the 09 F9 key, with the sixteenth byte “C0″ appended in the lower right corner
Super question.
