I've been quiet on this topic but can't resist anymore...
Yes it's immoral to use the cfdecrypt application to decrypt other people's
tags, code, etc... Is that really the issue here? It's also immoral to
steal cars, embezzle money from your employer, (insert any felony or
misdemeanor you want here...). But that hasn't stopped some people from
doing it!!!
Buyer beware! If you encrypt your CF tags and templates, know for darn sure
that someone will decrypt them. Period. No talk of morality or legality,
just reality. You really want to secure your tags, write 'em in C++ and
compile away. But then again any 13 year old with a hex editor could
probably hack those as well.

But you don't have to break into the teacher's house and rifle through
his filing cabinet to get the code. If I encrypt something it is because
I don't want you to look at it.
This isn't a hard concept to grasp. If you don't like that then either
find another code sample or try to write it yourself but trying to
excuse decryption of protected source in this manner is ridiculous.
