Hi!
I hope you aren't intending to visit the US any time soon -- you've just released into the wild a tool which can be used for Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems. Yay, DMCA! (Thanks, by the way.)
Actually, Microsoft tells in their online help of the script encryption utility, that it is not a real protection and it can possibly be hacked easily. Therefore, the users should not rely on it. And please don't forget that they need to sue all anti-virus companies, too, because all scanners are using similiar code to scan inside of such scripts...
BTW, isn't the decryption of polymorphic viruses or worms against the US law, too? The authors wanted to hide their trade secrets... am I right? ;-)
