Or perhaps illegal/unethical to use it for the purpose of then using someone
else's code?
Here's another issue...
Is it bad/unethical to use the undocumented tags/functions found in the CF
Administrator? These have been "documented" elsewhere (webpages, allaire
forums, etc), although the only way people found them was by decrypting the
administrator.

Lets be sure we understand something
Is it illegal to have such a utility or is it illegal to use the utiltiy.
I do believe there is a similar argument about DVDs and DeCSS???
Just a thought...

It would also be a violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

Saying this as Michael Dinowitz, yes. The decrypt utility is illegal
according to the MM licensing contract.
