Only thing is, it's visible in the source, but most people just copy-paste from the site straight-off, usually only designers look at the source.

So simple it's bloody brilliant! Apply to MyBB post template so at the bottom of every post.
I should try this out!
This doesn't prevent from content leeching so much as it annoys people who are trying to share your content. Someone who's trying to steal your content is just going to remove that line.

For example, if I read a topic on your site and I want to link it WITH ATTRIBUTION, and I want to cite two or three different posts, I'm going to have to remove this annoying line two or three times. And I will probably just give up on writing about your site.

This is like music companies who think DRM schemes will prevent music theft. You know what prevents music theft? Ease of use.
You can add these rules (CSS3) to your global.css [Its mean, you disable users from select / drag anything in your website].

-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;

This trick could help sometime.
Just a side note: Doing this is very bad from SEO point of view .
