This is not encryption, but encoding (like FM-encoding music and speach: 
you can't hear anything more, but a simple radio will do the decoding for 
you). And BTW, your pages will grow some 50% in size.

The resulting page (source) looks very undecypherable, but as more and more 
pages will be encoded, you will find more decoders available on the net. 
Back to zero again.
Did a search on google and the first link is already a hit:

It will prevent users with basic skills from stealing from your site, but 
it's not a problem for a die-hard cracker.
Since it relies on javascript (again), some people with javascript disable 
will not see anything.
And there are so much variations in javascript, that a page that works in 
IE will fail in mozilla, or Opera, or ...

The only "real" protection, is some encryption (and for the key, you must 
connect to a protected site). All secure sites (banking, pay-per-view, 
adult, ...) uses some sort of server-validation

The only interesting thing about b is the graphic splicer.
