I can't see how a fully scrambled text would still be considered a derived work in anything other than the letter of the law, and even then it's with a very poor reading of the law. Even if one were to take the scrambled ebook back through the scrambler it would take essentially infinite cycles to recreate the original text, copyrights exist to protect the rights holder. How does a text which, aside from matching in word count and letter count of those words, harm any rights holder if the output is in no known language, has no decryption key, and thus no longer bears any sembalance to the intellectual content of the original text?
